RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Religions are different roads converging to the same point. What does it matter that we take a different road, so long as we reach the same goal - Mohandas Gandhi

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it - Aristotle

At Wolston St Margaret's C of E Primary School, Christianity and Christian values thread through all that we do at Wolston St Margaret’s. Learning about religion and learning from religion helps prepare our children for the ever changing world they live in. RE helps to ensure pupils become responsible, understanding citizens by addressing issues of local, national and global concern, placing them in both spiritual and moral contexts.

We believe RE should motivate and interest our children, enabling them to enjoy and value learning about human experiences. RE should enable them to see the diversity of the world’s religions and their beliefs, helping our children to gain an understanding of everyone’s right to hold different beliefs.

As a Church of England Primary School, we have close links with our parish church and the church team and have our own School Chaplain.

RE LEARNING LEAFLETS

Learning Leaflets include key vocabulary with definitions, dates and timelines, maps, significant individuals and other contextual knowledge along with key skills the children will need to demonstrate. We expect the majority of children to know the information on the learning leaflet by the end of the unit of work and be able to recall key detail.

The facts on the Learning Leaflet are the crystallised, necessary information about a topic but they don't represent the topic in its entirety and many children will have a far deeper understanding and be able to discuss and elaborate much further.
