As a whole school we have agreed to adopt the Nottinghamshire’s Religious Education Agreed Syllabus. The aim of RE in Nottinghamshire is to ensure all pupils:

  • Know about and understand a range of religions and world views.
  • Express ideas and insights about the nature, significance and impact of religions and world views.
  • Gain and deploy the skills needed to engage seriously with religions and world views.

RE in EYFS

  • Pupils should encounter religions and world views through special people, books, times, places and objects and by visiting places of worship.
  • They should listen to and talk about stories.
  • Pupils can be introduced to subject specific words and use all their senses to explore beliefs, practices and forms of expression.
  • They ask questions and reflect on their own feelings and experiences.
  • They use their imagination and curiosity to develop their appreciation of and wonder at the world in which they live.

RE in KS1

  • The Focus of RE for KS1 enables children to develop their knowledge and understanding of religions and world views.
  • They find out about simple examples of religion that are drawn from local, national and global contexts.
  • They should use basic subject specific vocabulary.
  • They should raise questions and begin to express their own views in response to the material they learn about and in response to questions about their ideas.

RE in KS2

  • The Focus of RE for KS2 enables pupils to extend their knowledge and understanding of religions and world views, recognising their local, national and global contexts.
  • They should be introduced to an extended range of sources and subject specific vocabulary.
  • They should be encouraged to be curious and to ask increasingly challenging questions about religion, belief, values and human life.
  • Pupils should 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.
