Religious Education & Worldviews

At Moor Row Primary School, we recognise the effect that high quality RE provision has on the development of children and preparing them for living in a diverse society. Our intent is to support the teaching of British Values as well as ensuring that our high quality RE and Worldviews provision allows every child to flourish and ensures that the children at Moor Row Primary School:

  • Understand the diversity of cultures outside of their own experiences.
  • Have a sense of belonging and identity.
  • Develop their understanding, open mindfulness and deep thinking of different faiths and cultures.
  • Develop a moral compass – respect and sensitivity towards others.
  • Have the skills to hold discussions about Faiths.
  • Are equipped with citizenship skills for living in a diverse Britain and the wider world.
  • Discuss their own worldviews and understand what helps to shape these ideas.

    • The RE & Worldview curriculum at Moor Row Primary School enables pupils to meet the government guidance which states that RE must reflect that ‘the religious traditions in Great Britain are, in the main, Christian while taking account of the teaching and practices of the other principal religions represented in Great Britain.

    We begin in the Early Years Foundation Stage, where children are taught RE as an integral part of their personal, social and emotional learning. They encounter religions and world-views through multiple methods of teaching and get opportunities to reflect on their feelings and experiences. All RE teaching and learning takes into account the most up-to-date version of the DfE’s EYFS framework.

    Across Key Stage One and Key Stage Two the curriculum has the following strands interwoven through it:

  • Substantive knowledge (conceptual and worldviews related)
  • Disciplinary knowledge
  • Personal knowledge

    • Each unit of study includes overarching ‘big questions’ which are revisited through the spiral progressive curriculum. These allow children to apply the breadth and depth of their learning across various concepts.

    We utilise a range of teaching materials, resources and styles to ensure an engaging curriculum. Thus, preparing our children to become reflective, considerate and respectful British and global citizens.
