Religious Education (RE)

Religious Education at Mary Exton Primary School plays a vital role in helping pupils understand the diverse world in which they live. Through learning about a range of religions and worldviews, children develop respect, empathy and curiosity, alongside the ability to ask thoughtful questions and reflect on important aspects of life. Our RE curriculum supports pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and makes strong links with other areas of learning, particularly PSHE, to promote social awareness, inclusion and understanding. By revisiting key concepts and religions as pupils progress through the school, we ensure learning is meaningful, age-appropriate and builds over time.

These documents provide a clear overview of our Religious Education curriculum, outlining both the content taught across each year group and the progression of skills and knowledge as pupils move through the school. They demonstrate how learning is carefully sequenced to build understanding over time, ensuring that key concepts, religious knowledge and enquiry skills are revisited and developed at an age-appropriate level. Together, they show how our RE curriculum is structured, coherent and progressive, supporting pupils to deepen their understanding of religions and worldviews across each key stage.
