Religious Education

Religious Education Curriculum

Religious Education is seen as more than a subject within the school and is used to reinforce moral values and reflection and develop a wide range of skills.

RE is taught as a discrete subject and also in a cross curricular way.  A variety of strategies are used to enable the children to develop their knowledge and apply their learning about religion to their everyday lives.

Investigation and Reflection

RE enables children to investigate and reflect on some of the most fundamental questions asked by people. At The Minster Nursery & Infant School we aim to develop the children’s knowledge and understanding of Christianity and the other main world faiths represented in the United Kingdom. We follow the Southwark Diocese Syllabus, alongside the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework in Reception and Nursery.

The RE provided enables the children to learn from religions as well as about religions and supports the children to:

  • develop a strong foundation of the Christian faith through knowledge and understanding that includes Christian beliefs and values, The Bible, Old Testament Characters, the Life and Teachings of Jesus, Prayer and Worship, Saints, The Local Church, The Christian Community, Living out the Faith, Rites of Passage and Christian Festivals;
  • apply an understanding of Christianity to make reasoned and informed responses to life issues and moral choices;
  • develop knowledge and understanding of the other principal world faiths represented in the United Kingdom, applying an understanding of religion to develop respect, empathy and sensitivity to the views of others who hold different beliefs from their own;
  • reflect on their own experiences and to develop a personal response to the fundamental questions of life;
  • enhance their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development;
  • develop personal skills in forming reasoned opinions based on evidence.
