RE at BIRD’S BUSH
TEACHING RE IN SCHOOL
At Bird’s Bush Primary School, the role of Religious Education is to help prepare and equip all pupils for life and citizenship in today’s diverse society, through fostering in each pupil an increasing level of religious literacy.
By following the KAPOW Scheme for Religious Education, our children develop as deep thinkers who are open-minded about religion and worldviews. Our Religion & World Views curriculum is relevant to pupils, reflecting and preparing them for life in modern Britain.
Through the scheme, children will secure a deep understanding of concepts in order to be able to make connections, ask and respond to challenging questions, learn to respect and appreciate worldviews that are different to their own and consider their personal preconceptions, responses and views.
Each unit includes overarching ‘big questions’ which will be revisited throughout key stage 1, lower key stage 2 and upper key Stage 2, allowing children to apply the breadth and depth of their learning
across various concepts.
These ‘big questions’ are:
- Why are we here?
- Why do worldviews change?
- What is religion?
- How can worldviews be expressed?
- How do worldviews affect our daily lives?
- How can we live together in harmony if we have different worldviews?
