Religious Education at Elizabeth Woodville

Religious Education is taught through the Discovery RE scheme of work and is matched to the Leicestershire Agreed Syllabus.

Pupils extend their knowledge and understanding of religions and worldviews, recognising their local, national and global contexts.  We develop their curiosity to ask increasingly challenging questions about religion, belief, values and human life.  Pupils also learn to express their own ideas in response to the material they engage with, identifying relevant information, selecting examples and giving reasons to support their ideas and views.

Pupils are taught knowledge, skills and understanding through learning about Christians, Muslims, Hindus and Jewish people.

Our RE curriculum explores big questions about life, to find out what people believe and what difference this makes to how they live.  This enables pupils to make sense of religion, reflecting on their own ideas and ways of living. 

Learning is designed across three core elements;

Making Sense of Beliefs

Identifying and making sense of core religious and non-religious beliefs and concepts.

Understanding the impact

Examining how and why people put their beliefs into action in diverse ways.

Making Connections

Evaluating, reflecting on and connecting the beliefs and practices studied.

Collective Worship

Staff and children meet for daily collective worship, which takes a variety of forms. The content of our assemblies encourages a positive school ethos of caring, understanding and tolerance for all. Assemblies are used to reinforce and develop our school standards.

Parents have a legal right to withdraw their child from collective worship and RE and should consult with us if they wish to do so. Alternative arrangements will be made if necessary.
