At Butterstile we aim to:
- Tailor our curriculum to reflect the balance of religions represented in our school community.
- Use a multi-sensory approach in our planning, connecting with pupils’ experiences to help enable them to respond in a variety of ways.
- Teach an understanding of the beliefs and traditions of core religious and nonreligious beliefs, helping the children to understand the impact of such beliefs and to make connections between beliefs and practice, in order to prepare them for life in a society with a diverse variety of worldviews.
- Promote respect and open-mindedness towards others with different faiths and beliefs and encourage pupils to develop their sense of identity and belonging through self-awareness and reflection.
- Monitor children’s progress across each topic and follow their progress through the school. Our curriculum is a spiral curriculum so previous learning is built upon, year by year.
- Provide enhanced opportunities and experiences within RE for disadvantaged children to broaden their horizons, raise aspirations and enable all to access the curriculum fully.
