Statement of Intent Religious Education

Curriculum Intent Statement 20192020 At St Stephen’s CE Primary School our curriculum is designed to:  Equip all children – irrespective of disadvantage or SEND – with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and aspirations to enable them to contribute to, and succeed in, future society.  Reflect the home context of many of our children by providing a broad range of memorable learning experiences, within a vocabulary rich environment, to engender positive attitudes to lifelong learning.  Ensure that all pupils ‘learn to read and read to learn’ at an age appropriate level and fluency in order to access the full curriculum offer.  Progressively build upon key skills and knowledge in a planned and coherent way – delivering high quality and timely interventions as appropriate - throughout the key stages.

Statement of Intent for RELIGIOUS EDUCATION  At St. Stephen’s we are committed to the Christian faith, recognising and valuing every individual as special and unique in the image and likeness of God. Religious Education at St Stephen’s respects

and

promotes

each

child’s

capacity for wonder, awe, reverence and

spirituality. Our Religious Education Curriculum leads our children to aspire not to have more but to be more; children are taught about God’s love; they learn about their Christian responsibilities; children are provided with experiences of church and Christian traditions alongside how to be respectful and show understanding of people and traditions of those from other faith backgrounds. Through our Religious Education our children learn about their unique place within the home, school and parish community.
