Religious Education
Intent
In key stage 1, at Ernesford Grange Primary School, the pupils will develop their understanding of religions and worldviews, recognising their local, national and global contexts. They will also be introduced to subject specific vocabulary. Pupils will be encouraged to raise questions and to express their own ideas in response to the material they learn about and in response to questions about their ideas. (pg 32 Coventry and Warwickshire Agreed Syllabus, 2017-19)
We therefore aim to teach RE in an exciting and creative way, ensuring that there is breadth and balance. This can include inviting visitors into school to talk about their beliefs and organising trips to places of worship. As pupils progress through school they will build on their previous knowledge and understanding they have learnt so far to ensure depth of learning.

Implementation
Religious Education is taught separately from the rest of the curriculum and therefore keeps its subject integrity. Three strands run through the R.E syllabus (believing, expressing and living) and we ensure that there is adequate exploration for each of them to guarantee that there is not over-emphasis or exclusion of any of these strands. Some year groups deliver R.E. themed days and we also organise whole school assemblies around particular themes, which enrich the R.E curriculum taught at Ernesford Grange Primary School.
To ensure clear progression of skills we use the ‘Coventry and Warwickshire Agreed Syllabus’ learning outcomes. The learning outcomes on each key question help teachers to assess, and to devise appropriate learning activities to enable pupils to secure their understanding and skills. We will track progress of pupils using the ‘emerging, expected and exceeding’ learning outcomes on each key question.

Impact
By the end of each key stage, pupils are expected to know, apply and understand the matters, skills and processes specified in the relevant Programme of Study, that are in the Coventry and Warwickshire agreed syllabus.
The Religious Education received by all our pupils will contribute to ‘the knowledge and skills that they need in order to take advantage of opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life’ Our RE curriculum will play a significant contribution to preparing pupils for life in modern Britain.
