Religious Education

Religious Education teaches children about different religious faiths and the impact these have on the lives of believers, their communities and the wider world.

RE at Ilketshall St Lawrence aims to promote religious understanding and respect, and to challenge prejudice, discrimination and stereotyping. We provide opportunities for our pupils to enquire, explore and express their own beliefs in a respectful and caring environment, in turn promoting every child’s self-worth and the importance of forming and maintaining positive relationships.

RE at home

Ways to help develop RE skills at home:

• Use the internet to find out about different faiths

• Visit places of worship

• Discuss beliefs and views about life and the world in which we live

Prompt questions

• What is important to people who practice different religions?

• How do people of different faiths show their commitment to their religion?

• What do different religions teach about people and the world?

• How do their religious beliefs influence the daily lives?

• What is important to you? Who is important to you?
