Religious Education

Religious Education is an academically rigorous subject which makes a distinctive contribution to pupils’ overall knowledge. Over the time at Springmoor Grange, children are involved in learning, which provokes challenging questions about meaning and purpose in life, issues of right and wrong and what it means to be human. They learn to interpret, analyse, evaluate and critically respond to the claims that religious and non-religious worldviews make. Through well sequenced and challenging Religious Education lessons, children are given opportunities to develop as articulate, thoughtful, respectful, well rounded global citizens.

Religious Education at Springmoor Grange offers opportunities for children to reflect personally and to examine the significance of their learning in relation to themselves and others. Through enquiry based teaching and learning, children are able to explore their own beliefs (whether they are religious or not) and to develop their own sense of identity and belonging. The right of others to hold different beliefs and values is also promoted through discussion and collaborative learning.
