RE at Ilketshall  

INFORMED

As staff, we are committed to quality RE teaching that enables pupils to build a rounded view of world religions. Throughout their time at Ilketshall children will learn about religious traditions and practices. Importantly, they will value diversity. Children will develop respect for others, including people with different faiths and beliefs and know the importance of challenging prejudice. Respect is of the utmost importance during RE lessons and disrespectful behaviour will be challenged and worked upon by teaching staff. 

INDEPENDENT

Children will develop their own views and ideas over time. They will be encouraged to ask and research their own questions.  We support children to develop the skills they need to debate and compare answers  to ‘big’ human questions. We believe that the skills we equip children with at this age will enable them to go into the world as curious, independent thinkers who are considerate and empathetic. 

INVESTED

Children will recognise the importance of RE now and within their future. Children will be invested in lessons through access to resources, memorable experiences and a varied curriculum. They will understand how RE, now and in the future, will enable them to embrace the diverse, global society that they are part of. 

INDIVIDUAL

Every child in our school is an individual. We encourage children to share their own experiences and views. RE will assist children with building their own sense of identity and belonging. Children will value their own views and will flourish as citizens within our school and their local community.
