Religious Education (R.E.)

Our aim for Religious Education (R.E.) is for all children to secure an enjoyment of religious study, which develops their curiosity and appreciation of the range of religions and world views so that they can express ideas and have an insight about the nature, significance and impact of world religions through engaging and equitable lessons.

Knowledge Organisers and Grids 

Our Knowledge Organisers outline and display the key information, vocabulary, facts, diagrams, maps & pictures which children need to know for the themes and discrete subject units taught in class. We use them to retrieve and recall information, helping children to learn and retain the knowledge of our curriculum.

They are effective at helping children to learn and remember more, building on our knowledge-rich curriculum, that links to children’s previous and later learning across the whole school.

Retrieval Templates

Retrieval practice is a teaching and learning strategy underpinned by cognitive science. It is a well-researched method that helps improve students’ knowledge retention of new information and recall of previously learned content. Our weekly retrieval activities are designed to activate prior learning for children and allow teachers to explore deeper understanding through extension questions and higher-order questions. Image retrievals provide open-ended, high-ceiling opportunities for learners (these can be supported by additional scaffolds where necessary).
