Bishop Pursglove C of E Primary School
Reach Higher, Think Deeper, Love Wider
RE
RE at our school is a core subject, giving it a prominent and important role in the lives of all our pupils. The RE curriculum is planned sequentially to build upon pupils’ prior learning and to include many rich experiences, where pupils are stimulated and challenged. Through the Understanding Christianity and NATRE resource, we aim to develop a deep knowledge and understanding of Christian belief and practice.
RE at Bishop Pursglove CE School is designed to engage, inspire, challenge and encourage pupils. It will equip them with the knowledge and skills to ask and answer challenging questions. We explore different religious beliefs, values and traditions and develop a rigorous understanding of the practices that are followed in our multi-cultural society. We want them to know how religious education promotes discernment and enables pupils to combat prejudice, preparing them foradult life, employment and life-long learning.
As a Church of England School, RE is delivered in accordance with the NATRE and the Understanding Christianity Project.
The Church of England education office gives the following aims for Church Schools:
- To know about and understand Christianity as a diverse global living faith through the exploration of core beliefs using an approach that critically engages with Biblical text.
- To gain knowledge and understanding of a range of religions and worldviews appreciating diversity, continuity and change within the religions and worldviews being studied.
- To engage with challenging questions about the meaning and purpose raised by human existence and experience.
- To recognise the concept of religion and its continuing influence on Britain’s cultural heritage and in the lives of individuals and societies in different times, cultures and places.
- To explore their own religious, spiritual and philosophical ways living, believing and thinking.
Interfaith Day 2025 – The children explored different faiths and beliefs in each class and had the opportunity to share what they learned through creative activities and discussions.
