RE
Please find information below about RE at NWPS.
At Nunnery Wood Primary School, we aim to deliver a high-quality R.E. curriculum, which will ensure that... we provide pupils with opportunities to look beyond themselves, ask ‘big questions’ and think globally about life and develop a deeper and richer understanding of the world and its people. We intend for them to gain, through our programmes of study, an appreciation of and respect for diversity; diversity of belief, thinking, culture and heritage.
At Nunnery Wood our RE curriculum is based on Worcestershire Agreed Syllabus 2025-2030. We give children multiple opportunities to learn about religious and non-religious beliefs throughout their time in school. Children study Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, and Upper Key Stage 2 also study Non-believer and Humanist views. We seek to equip children with a thorough knowledge of the four main religions by finding out about key beliefs, practises, places of worship and symbols associated with each faith. To develop understanding we look at the impact of belief on the believer and the community around them. Once knowledge and understanding are established children acquire the skills needed to make connections between ideologies and practices.
Throughout the R.E units, pupils will learn to develop a range of skills and be able to: identify, describe, evaluate, explain, recognize, appreciate, examine, challenge, discern, and connect ideas from several viewpoints and form their own thought and beliefs. These skills along with key knowledge and understanding is how we intend children to become successful learners in RE.
