Religious Education (RE)<\/h2>

The Futura intent for Religious Education is that all children develop an awareness of major world religions and world views, including their impact on society and culture. Our pupils should be able to appreciate and respect faiths and beliefs which may be different to their own, which will equip them for their adult life, employment as well as lifelong learning. Through RE lessons, children will be able to engage with challenging questions of meaning and purpose, which will equip them to continue their studies of RE in secondary school where they will deepen their understanding of different world faiths as well as more general philosophical and ethical questions. Our pupils will be given the opportunity to develop their own religious, spiritual and philosophical beliefs in a safe environment. Children will be able to reflect, consider, analyse, interpret and evaluate different issues which are prevalent in our society, whilst also promoting mutual respect and tolerance in line with British Values.\u00a0\u00a0Our curriculum is ambitious for all and strives to address inclusion and disadvantage in its intent and implementation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

We teach Religious Education using the scheme \u2018Discovery RE\u2019 resource to support our lessons.<\/p>

For more information, please see the\u00a0Futura Religious Education Framework<\/a><\/p>

Religious Education at Chestnut Park<\/h3>

The teaching of Religious Education (RE) is vital for children to understand others beliefs and make connections between their own and others values.<\/p>

Our RE curriculum allows children to discover and gain an insight into religions within the world that we live in.<\/p>

We support children to appreciate the way that religious beliefs shape life and behaviour, develop the ability to make reasoned and informed judgements about religious and moral issues and enhance their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.<\/p>

RE\u00a0is taught throughout the school in such a way as to reflect the overall aims, values, and ethos of the school.<\/p>

RE plays an important role, along with all other curriculum areas, particularly PSHE, in promoting social awareness and understanding in our children. We encourage our pupils to ask questions about the world and to reflect on their own beliefs, values and experiences. We include and promote British values, ensuring that children are aware of their rights and responsibilities as UK citizens.<\/p>

Being religiously conscious contributes to pupils\u2019 personal development and well-being and to community cohesion by promoting mutual respect and tolerance in a diverse society. Teaching and learning of religious education can also enable pupils to make important contributions to other parts of the school curriculum such as citizenship, personal, social, health and economic education, the humanities, education for sustainable development and others. It offers opportunities for personal reflection and spiritual development, deepening the understanding of the significance of religion in the lives of others \u2013 individually, communally and cross-culturally, locally and globally.<\/p>

Religious education can provoke challenging questions about the ultimate meaning and purpose of life, beliefs about God, the self and the nature of reality, issues of right and wrong, and what it means to be human. It can develop pupils\u2019 knowledge and understanding of Christianity, of other principal religions, other religious traditions and worldviews that offer answers to questions such as these.<\/p>

The right to withdraw your child from Religious Education<\/h3>

In line with the Education Act, parents have the legal right to withdraw their child from all or part of RE. Any parent wishing to exercise this right should make their request in writing to the Headteacher.<\/p>

The school will respect these decisions and discuss with parents how the withdrawal will be managed to ensure that pupils remain appropriately supervised. All RE teaching is delivered with respect for the backgrounds, beliefs, and values of all pupils and their families.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
