Our Pupil's Perspective:

Religious Education teaches us about Christianity and other religions and worldviews so that we can understand the world better and develop our own sense of place within it.

Curriculum Intent:

At St. Stephen’s CEP, Tockholes, Religious Education (RE) is a core subject that teaches all pupils about Christianity and other religions and world views so that our pupils gain a greater understanding of the views and beliefs of people in our ever-changing world, and understand their own sense of place within it. RE is highly valued and enjoyed by both pupils and staff, and helps us to live out and fulfil our school vision, by understanding that we are ‘a small yet unique part of God’s, big family’ and that we all can ‘live, laugh, love and learn in the light of Christ…. Inspiring and nurturing all to be the very best they can be.’’. The RE curriculum at St. Stephen’s will develop pupils religious literacy skills and enable them to engage in meaningful and informed dialogue about their beliefs and those of others. It makes a distinctive contribution to pupils’ learning by enabling them to reflect upon themselves as whole people, experiencing life through the body, the mind and the spirit. Through a rich and meaningful curriculum, pupils will develop a clear understanding of Christian beliefs and practices, whilst also developing their understanding of World Religions, beliefs and cultures so they are fully prepared for living within our multi-cultural society.
