Religious Education

Our school follows the curriculum strategy – Learning and Growing as the People of God – provided by the Archdiocese of Birmingham for teaching RE in a Catholic primary school

Please click on the links below to access each class’s syllabus.

The thematic approach enables RE to be taught through other subject areas as links in learning provide the children with opportunities to make connections. There are also numerous opportunities for extended writing in RE and to enhance RE learning through the use of ICT.

In addition to the diocesan strategy we have dedicated themed weeks for example a multi faith week which seeks to support the children in learning about other faiths through visiting places of worship.
