Religious Education
Our broad, inspiring and ambitious curriculum is designed to develop confident, happy and curious individuals who flourish through perseverance and a love of learning. This reflects our vision of ‘where we all belong, believe in ourselves and others, and build for our future.’
At Cheddon Fitzpaine Church School, RE is underpinned with three elements which run through all our learnings. Our Christianity units build on children's prior learning and aim to make sense of the text, understand the impact and make connections through core Christian concepts, which tell the 'salvation narrative' (big story) of the Bible. Our Understanding Christianity resource is designed to support and develop children's understanding of Christianity, as a contribution to their understanding of the world and their own experience within it. Our RE curriculum is supplemented with wider world views and other world religions to allow for a deepening level of understanding and tolerance of one another.
