Religious Education Policy

At Astley C.E Primary School, our RE curriculum is designed to engage and enthuse learners. We believe that it is important for all our pupils to learn from and about religion, so that they can understand the world around them.

We aim to provide our children with religious literacy where they will develop their knowledge and understanding of Christianity, other religious traditions and world views and explore their responses to life's challenges. This gives pupils the knowledge and skills to flourish both within their own community and as members of a diverse and global society.  

Our teaching equips pupils with systematic knowledge and understanding of a range of religions and worldviews, enabling them to develop their ideas, values and identities. It should develop in pupils an understanding so that they can participate positively in our society, with its diverse religions and worldviews. Pupils should gain and deploy the skills needed to understand, interpret and evaluate texts and other sources of evidence. They should learn to articulate clearly and coherently their personal beliefs, ideas, values and experiences while respecting the beliefs of others.
