Religious Education

At Temple Ewell Church of England Primary School pupils and their families can expect a high quality Religious Education (RE) curriculum that is challenging, rich and varied, enabling learners to acquire a thorough knowledge and understanding of a range of faiths and world views. As a church school, the teaching of Christianity is at the heart of our RE curriculum. Through the Understanding Christianity resource, the use of an enquiry approach engages with significant theological concepts and the pupil’s own understanding of the world as part of their wider religious literacy. Using the Kent Agreed Syllabus we learn about other religions and world views, fostering respect for them. Links with our Christian values and vision, and support for pupil’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development are intrinsic to our RE curriculum and have a significant impact on learners. We provide a wide range of opportunities for learners to understand and develop knowledge to make links between the beliefs, practices and value systems of the range of faiths and world views studied.

What our children say about Religious Education:

" The purpose of RE is to help us learn about and understand different religions and to inspire people to go out in the world so we can educate and accept everyone in the world."

"RE is fun and I really like learning about different religions, their beliefs, festivals and celebrations."

"I enjoy the stories and learning about how different religions do things."

"I like listening to the stories in RE because it comes to life in my mind."

It's exciting learning about and then visiting different places of worship because it makes them come to life. It's learning in the wide world."

"Visiting Canterbury Cathedral was really good."

"I like sharing my opinion about the different religions."
