Our Religious Education curriculum offers a dynamic opportunity to explore a rich tapestry of religious and non-religious worldviews, deeply rooted in the statutory expectations of the West Sussex Agreed Syllabus. Designed to foster open-mindedness, critical inquiry, and theological literacy, our curriculum empowers children to interrogate big questions surrounding meaning, purpose, truth, and values. By engaging thoughtfully with diverse communities and traditions, pupils cultivate mutual respect, empathy, and a sophisticated understanding of global diversity. Delivered using the Jigsaw RE scheme, our curriculum follows a structured enquiry-led approach that builds systematically on prior knowledge. It carefully balances breadth and depth, enabling children to investigate core concepts, make meaningful connections between beliefs and everyday actions, and reflect thoughtfully on their own personal worldviews. Fully aligned with the markers of outstanding RE provision, our lessons merge rigorous academic enquiry with personal development, ensuring learners leave our junior school as tolerant, respectful, and socially responsible citizens prepared for an interconnected world.
