Religious Education (R.E.) at Stoke-on-Tern.
At Stoke-on-Tern school, we follow the ‘Shropshire Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education’ (SACRE).
The principal aim of our religious education curriculum at Stoke-on-Tern is to explore what people believe and the difference this makes to how they live their lives. Our curriculum provides open, enquiring and exploratory religious education, which is suitable for pupils who have a religious worldview of their own as well as for those who have non-religious worldviews.
Through engaging with our R.E. curriculum, pupils gain the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to handle questions raised by religion and belief, reflecting on their own ways of living and worldview. Pupils learn that having a good and meaningful life and being a good person, are achievable by anyone regardless of whether they are religious or not.
Through a series of carefully planned teaching units, our R.E. curriculum develops pupils’ knowledge about the beliefs and practices of both religious and non-religious worldviews. Each unit consists of a sequence of systematic study, which focuses on one worldview at a time, before bringing together and comparing views using a thematic approach. Pupils revisit core concepts as they move through the curriculum, enabling them to build on existing knowledge.
Collective Worship.
The school day includes an Act of Worship, either as a whole school, key stage or individual class, as required by law. Parents who wish to withdraw their children from Religious Education lessons and the collective Act of Worship should speak to the Headteacher and alternative arrangements can be made.
Local Links.
We have close links with St. Peter’s Church in Stoke-on-Tern. The vicar regularly leads worship in school and we celebrate special times in the Christian calendar by visiting the church.
