Religious Education at St Margaret's Church of England School

Our aim is for Christian principals and ethos to be at the heart of every aspect of the school life.  Through a wide exploration of religious beliefs and practices we hope children will gain deepening insight into other religions as well as their own.
 

We aim for our Religious Education curriculum to:

• to develop awareness of the spiritual and moral dimensions of life experience.
• to develop knowledge and understanding of Christianity and other principal religious traditions represented in Great Britain.
• to learn about Christianity as the basis for our scheme of work
• to have knowledge of a range of Christian stories from the bible
• to develop understanding of what it might mean to be committed to a religious tradition.
• to reflect on their own experiences, beliefs and values.
• to have confidence in their own viewpoint whilst engaging in open and honest enquiry
• to respect the rights of others to hold beliefs different to their own
• view religion as a joyous experience to be celebrated with music, movement and drama – a living activity in a cross curricular context
• to become successful learners who enjoy learning, make progress and achieve
• to become confident individuals who are able to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives
• to aspire to be responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society

We celebrate a variety of religious events across the school including Christmas, Easter, Diwali and Jesus Christ day.
