RE
Intent
Our Religious Education curriculum at Pinfold Street is designed to equip pupils with the knowledge, vocabulary and enquiry skills they need to understand a wide range of religious and non‑religious worldviews and to live well together in our diverse community. Rooted in our school vision, R.E. develops pupils’ ability to ask thoughtful questions, weigh evidence, and explain beliefs and practises clearly, while fostering respect, empathy and the personal development that prepares them for life. The curriculum progresses deliberately from early years to Year 6 so pupils build secure substantive knowledge, learn simple methods for finding out about religion, and are supported to reflect on their own perspectives.
Implementation
The curriculum is planned in well-sequenced, progressive lessons. We follow the Walsall Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education.
​
Impact
At the end of each year, pupils have developed their reflective skills, and have gained a new understanding of beliefs and religions in the world around them. Pupils know how people from different religions may express themselves and treat people equally regardless of background or beliefs. Children are able to talk enthusiastically about their knowledge of religion. Children across the school can articulate the need to be respectful of different beliefs.
