Our teaching of Religious Education follows the guidance given in the latest Agreed Syllabus for Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire: –

Religious  Education for All

The Agreed Syllabus for RE in Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire

2021-2026

In using this Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education, we enable our pupils to discover more about religion, as well as other world views and we assist them to apply their learning to a range of different religions. We use the Agreed Syllabus and develop the areas covered into detailed unit plans which help pupils to express ideas and insights into key questions which face all human beings as we travel through life.

The three-fold aims of RE will ensure that our pupils:

• Know and understand a range of religions and world views which will allow them to recognise the diversity which exists in our city and wider society.
• Can express ideas and insights about the nature, significance and impact of religions and world views as they develop their own personal views on a range of issues.
• Develop and use skills which will assist them to engage seriously with religions and world views

By following the Agreed Syllabus, RE will also contribute to a whole range of school priorities.  Study of religious and world views will also promote spiritual, cultural, social and moral development, and will support pupils’ understanding of British Values such as acceptance and respect for others who hold different world views.
