R.E. Vision Statement

RE offers a key to children to help them understand and accept similarities and differences in belief globally. RE is an opportunity to ask big questions about belief, rituals, actions and faith. RE provides space to express and discuss their own and others opinions and allows for agreeable disagreement.

Subject Intent

Religious Education at St. Peter’s Academy is shaped by our vision.

We provide a fully inclusive, carefully sequenced curriculum which empowers our diverse community to live “Life in all its fullness.” The curriculum is bespoke to our children’s needs and situation. As a Christian school we are fully accepting of cultural and religious diversity. This acceptance strengthens and unites our community.

RE provides pupils with an opportunity to study global religions and worldviews. Lessons are carefully planned to ensure that acceptance and respect are central in our lessons. We have a wealth of quality resources to complement our schedule of visits and visitors from a variety of worldviews. We encourage our children to question and challenge injustice. RE facilitates children’s understanding not only of how belonging to a faith can shape the daily lives of believers; it also encourages our pupils to understand their own world view and how this has been shaped by their experience. In RE we positively encourage ‘Big Questions’ to develop a deep understanding.
