Statement of Curriculum Intent RE – KS 1,2,3 and 4
At Shenstone Lodge School we believe that it is vital for all our pupils to learn from, and about, religion. Religious Education here echoes the ethos of Safe, Happy, Learning and Safe, Independent, Learning. It is our intention to recognise the rites of passage in different belief systems, to use the children’s experiences of celebrations and happy times to provide opportunities to help them grow and develop in the school community, and further into the wider community. We aim to inspire children to learn independence through the opportunities that Religious Education offers, exploring themes of tolerance, forming and challenging world views and mutual respect. Furthermore, with the inclusion of individual liberty, we believe our children will develop a positive sense of identity. Crucially, our intention is to create an environment of tolerance, respect and inclusion for all: to challenge prejudice and empower our children.
