Religious Education
We follow the Royal Borough of Greenwich Agreed Syllabus. Our RE teaching reflects our local area.
In Key Stage 1, the children study the religions that most represent the local community therefore children at our school study Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism in addition to Christianity. The religions are taught in chronological order; e.g. the children in Year 1 learn about Hinduism in the first half of the Autumn term, since it is the oldest religion.
In Key Stage 2, the children learn about Judaism and Sikhism for the first time. The other religions continue to be taught chronologically.
The learning outcomes are set out in the Agreed Syllabus but the lesson designs have been developed in-house. We are developing the use of artefacts and resources so that every RE lesson is a memorable and meaningful experience for the children.
