Religious Education

RE Subject Leader is Mrs Barnes

RE at Holy Trinity CE Primary

Our curriculum intent for RE is that every child will:

Know about and understand Christianity as a diverse global living faith through exploration of core beliefs
Gain knowledge and understanding of a range of religions and worldviews appreciating diversity, continuity and change.
Engage with challenging questions of meaning and purpose raised by human existence and experience.
Recognise the concept of religion and its continuing influence on Britain’s cultural heritage and the lives of individuals.
Explore their own religious, spiritual and philosophical ways living, believing and thinking.

Holy Trinity is committed to ensuring all children have full access to a high-quality religious education to meet the statutory requirements for all state funded schools to teach a full curriculum that prepares pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life in modern Britain. Central to religious education in Church schools is the study of Christianity as a living and diverse faith, focusing on the teaching of Jesus Christ and the Church. There is a clear expectation that as inclusive communities, church schools provide sequenced learning about a range of religions and worldviews built on fostering respect for others.
