Our approach to Religious Education

Intent behind curriculum delivery

At Hollymount Primary School, we aim to deliver high-quality RE education that will help pupils explore and learn about different faiths and beliefs, so that they can understand, accept, respect and celebrate diversity. Our RE curriculum teaches mutual respect and tolerance in a multi faith, multi-cultural classroom.

We encourage our pupils to ask questions about the world and to reflect on their own beliefs, values and experiences. We include and promote British values, ensuring that children are aware of their rights and responsibilities as UK citizens. Our curriculum is designed to encourage creativity, imagination, enquiry, debate, discussion and independence.

At all points we take account of the Merton SACRE agreed syllabus for the teaching of religious Education. Our subject leader carefully cross references our curriculum map, resources, supporting schemes to ensure this leads to high quality teaching of RE.
