Religious Education (RE)

RE Vision 

We believe in providing children with the opportunity to learn about a variety of world religions so that they become a better, informed citizen. 

The key purpose of RE at Shebbear Community School is to: 

*Make sense of a range of religious and non-religious world views. 

*Understand the impact and significance of religious and non-religious worldviews. 

 *Make connections between religious and non-religious worldviews, concepts, practices and ideas studied. 

By the end of year six we want all children to be able to: 

• Visit a Christian place of worship each year  

• Visit a place of worship from another faith e.g. Mosque in Exeter or/and Synagogue in Exeter 

• Children to have attended a service at the Church and the Chapel in Shebbear village.  

• Have assemblies linked to units but also times of year e.g. Ramadan.  

• Had visitors from a variety of faiths and non- faiths visit assemblies.  

• Have a good understanding of a range of World religions including Christianity.  

• Help the children consider their own faith and beliefs.  

 Our RE Curriculum builds skills, knowledge and behaviours to give children a secure foundation in the subject.
