RE

At Trimley St Mary Primary, our RE curriculum helps children with their own personal development and support an understanding of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural questions that surface again and again in their lives.  We reflect and discuss values such as honesty, justice and truth.  We learn how to respect others and gain a global understanding of views and beliefs.

 

Our RE curriculum encourages children to develop:-
• An outstanding level of religious understanding and knowledge.
• A thorough engagement with a range of ultimate questions about the meaning and significance of existence.
• The ability to ask significant and highly reflective questions about religion and demonstrate an excellent understanding of issues related to the nature, truth and value of religion.
• A strong understanding of how the beliefs, values, practices and ways of life within any religion cohere together.
• Exceptional independence; the ability to think for themselves and take the initiative in, for example, asking questions, carrying out investigations, evaluating ideas and working constructively with others.
• Significant levels of originality, imagination or creativity, which are shown in their responses to their learning in RE.
• The ability to link the study of religion and belief to personal reflections on meaning and purpose.
• A wide knowledge and deep understanding across a wide range of religions and beliefs.
