Through RE, we seek to provide pupils with opportunities to look beyond themselves, ask ‘big questions’ and think globally about life and develop a deeper and richer understanding of the world and its people. We intend for them to gain, through our programmes of study, an appreciation of and respect for diversity; diversity of belief, thinking, culture and heritage. Our RE curriculum seeks to equip our pupils with a systematic knowledge and understanding of a range of religions and beliefs. As a church school, we seek to enable pupils to gain a deep understanding of Christianity as a living world faith and how it links with the culture, tradition and values of our country. 

The content of our RE curriculum is based on the Worcestershire Agreed Syllabus 2020 – 2025 and Understanding Christianity. The curriculum is taught on a 2-year rolling programme and each half-term has an allocated theme or enquiry question.  The curriculum is spiral in nature with key concepts being revisited throughout each child’s time at school to allow the children to increase their depth and breath of understanding.   Our curriculum is enhanced by visits to St Marys Church in Abberley and other local places of worship.

We are proud that our school is a church school and seek for our community to be founded upon the teachings of Christianity, through living our School Vision and Values. As a school, we recognise individual choice and welcome individuals from all faiths and those of none.  Collective worship takes place daily and is defined in our school as an opportunity to gather together to learn, celebrate and be thankful.  Our collective worship programme is based on a 2-year cycle and encompasses the Christian calendar and teachings, stories and celebrations from other cultures and faiths, spirituality and British values.  Collective worship is for all members of our school community.  Our local Reverend supports the work of the school and is a regular attendee at collective worship along with school governors and other members of the local community.  Collective worship is led by members of staff, children, members of our school community and visitors.
