At Bricknell Primary School, the teaching of Religious Education (RE) has been carefully considered to enable our pupils to become confident within all areas of RE. We strive to enable our pupils to develop mutual respect and understanding of/for all cultures and religions; gain the skills and maturity to make their own decisions and create their own values; challenge stereotypical views, racism and discrimination and to appreciate difference positively. Our curriculum aims to provide the children with a secure understanding of Religious Education through knowing about and understanding a range of religions and worldviews and learning to see these through the disciplines of Theology, Philosophy and the Social Sciences. We are committed to developing our children’s awareness, understanding and respect for all cultures and religions.
At Bricknell, our curriculum is based on the Hull and East Riding Syllabus for RE, alongside this our RE subject leader has carefully worked to create a Curriculum Overview Document where objectives for each year group are progressively mapped out to ensure our pupils are given the acquired skills and knowledge the further their education journey into KS3.
Our aim is to provide inclusive and aspirational environments and learning experiences where pupils thrive and build the cultural capital they need to make aspirational choices about their own futures, overcoming any barriers. In order to achieve this, our curriculum is underpinned by the principles highlighted in our Aspiration Curriculum.
