RE

​At Hunslet Carr, we follow the ‘Believing and Belonging’ scheme of work which has many engaging and exciting units of work that will allow children to develop a broad understanding of many of the world faiths as well as positively impacting on their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.

During religious education lessons, our intention is that our children are challenged to push themselves to think outside of their personal experience zones and to explore their skills, beliefs and ideas; asking questions at all times whilst experiencing practical lessons.
 
​Our children will develop a broad understanding of world faiths and world views including Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism. R.E. gives our children the opportunity to widen their understanding of cultural diversity and belonging to a community as well as developing their own sense of belonging.

​Through R.E. our children also have the opportunity to develop their critical thinking skills and problem-solving skills. Children reflect on their own beliefs and values as well as the beliefs and values of others in a respectful way. They develop a greater understanding of how people of different backgrounds and beliefs may have similar and different values to themselves. Children are also able to use their own knowledge and experiences of their own religions, faith and practices to share with others.

To be a successful and understanding student in RE at Hunslet Carr Primary school...

• I can learn new skills and knowledge and have positive attitudes towards the achievements in my understanding of a  range of faiths and beliefs
• I can reflect on my own thoughts and beliefs, and talk to others about my ideas and feelings

• I will learn how to see and respect other people's points of view, even when they might be different to my own
• I understand why people think and behave differently and how that contribute to community life in Britain today
• I have high expectations of my understanding, mutual respect and tolerance of everyone's beliefs
