Religious Studies
Our RE Curriculum
Vision
Our RE Curriculum is underpinned by Barnet’s Agreed Syllabus and its golden threads which as a maintained community school we must deliver. We use Discovery RE to support us in our content choices. It is inclusive and is underpinned by questioning throughout. By asking ‘big questions’ we enable children to gain a deeper understanding of how religion influences an individual's life. By educating our pupils about how other people live their lives and their religious beliefs, we enable them to reflect on what they believe and the choices they make, thus enabling them to develop an understanding of themselves and tolerance and respect for others.
