"Learning together we can reach for the stars"
RE
RE at Race Leys
We follow the Coventry & Warwickshire Religion and Worldviews Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education 2024 – 2029. This is a carefully put together syllabus which explores not just religion but also worldviews – the way people see and understand the world. As part of this, children will explore local charities run by different organised worldviews and see how these impact the local communities.
Children will learn about organised worldviews - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Sikhi, Humanism.
Children will learn about individual worldviews – how one person understands life based on their own beliefs, values and experiences.
Children will also learn about communal worldviews – those shared by communities who live or work together with shared beliefs and values.
Each year group learns about RE by looking at a question for a term and approaching it from different religions or worldview. Children will use big questions to find out more in 3 disciplinary areas.
Theology – study of God or gods. We will look at different artefacts and resources to help with this.
Philosophy – thinking carefully and asking big questions about life, truth, right and wrong choices. We will also explore philosophers from the past and their work.
Human and Social Science – how people live out their beliefs in everyday life through different cultures and societies. We may have visitors to school to answer some of our questions.
