Our vision for RE (Religious Education) at Robert Shaw
Our vision for RE (Religious Education) at Robert Shaw Primary is to provoke challenging questions about the meaning and purpose of life. It develops pupils’ knowledge and understanding of religion and religious traditions. RE enables pupils to build their sense of identity and belonging, which helps them flourish within their communities and as citizens in a diverse society. It teaches pupils to develop respect for others, including people with different faiths and beliefs and helps to challenge prejudice. RE prompts pupils to consider their responsibilities to themselves and to others and to explore how they might contribute to their communities and to the wider society. It encourages empathy, generosity and compassion.
At Robert Shaw, our RE curriculum alongside our Diversity, Equality and Inclusion provision allows our children to embrace the diverse global community in which they live. Through a broad range of cross-curricular opportunities, our children’s experiences enable them to learn to live respectfully together.
Our curriculum has been developed using the Nottingham SACRE document 2021-2026. Further information about SACRE can be found on their website.
