RE CURRICULUM
Curriculum Intent
At Kexborough Primary school, we believe that it is vital for all our pupils to learn from and about religion, so that they can understand the world around them. Through Religious Education, children develop their knowledge of the world faiths, and their understanding and awareness of the beliefs, values and traditions of other individuals, societies, communities and cultures. We encourage our pupils to ask questions about the world and to reflect on their own beliefs, values and experiences. Our Religious Education curriculum is enhanced further with whole school visits to places of worship in our local area.

Question 3 How can faith contribute to Community Cohesion?
Question 4 Why are some times special?
Question 5 What can be learned from the lives of significant people of faith?
Question 6 How do I and others feel about life and the universe around us?
The coverage overview has been planned as set out below.
