R.E Religious Education

At Oakfield, we aim to develop the children's knowledge and understanding of the major world faiths. Throughout the year, we visit our local Church, St Michael and St Thomas, to recognise Harvest, Christingle and Easter. Our children will have respect for other people's views and will celebrate the diversity in our society.

The aims of Religious Education are to help children:

develop an awareness of spiritual and moral issues in life experiences
develop knowledge and understanding of Christianity and other major world religions and value systems found in Britain
develop an understanding of what it means to be committed to a religious tradition
be able to reflect on their own experiences and to develop a personal response to the fundamental questions of life
develop an understanding of religious traditions and to appreciate the cultural differences in Britain today
develop investigative and research skills and to enable them to make reasoned judgements about religious issues
have respect for other peoples’ views and to celebrate the diversity in society.
