Religious Education

Intent

In response to the National Content Standard (2023), the Ofsted RE subject report (2024) and the Religion and Worldviews curriculum guidance (2024), Weston St Mary Church of England Primary School takes a religion and worldviews approach to teaching and learning in RE. 

Religious Education in the Early Years

RE is a legal requirement for all pupils on the school roll, including those in Reception year.

RE contribute to the following area of the learning goals:

  • Communication and language
  • Personal, social and emotional development (PSED)
  • Literacy
  • Understanding the world
  • Expressive arts and design

In EYFS the children will learn about a range of religious celebrations through artefacts, music and stories. Pupils will begin to develop somewhat a sense of their own needs, views and feelings and begin to act sensitively to the needs and views of others. Through studying RE, pupils will develop a sense of right and wrong and how we can help each other. This will lead to the children developing an understanding of other cultures through asking questions.
