Religious Education and Collective Worship

The school follows the Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire Agreed Syllabus (2016) and aims. It is based on an enquiry learning model which focuses mainly on Christianity and one other religion in Key Stage 1 (Judaism) and Christianity and two other religions in Key Stage 2 (Judaism and Hinduism).

The teaching of RE follows the coverage of the ‘Programme of Units for Key Stage 1 and 2’ which you can find at:

http://www.eriding.net/all-ages/religious-education/units-of-learning-and-exemplification/ks1-and-ks2/programme-units-for-ks1-ks2/

– however, some year groups may teach the programme over a two year cycle. Although the subject is available for all children, the school will make arrangements for parents to exercise their right of withdrawal of their children from Religious Education.

Please follow the links above for more information about the content of the RE curriculum.

The RE curriculum is non-denominational

We have an act of Collective Worship every day, which is broadly Christian in character, as a whole school or in Phase or year groups. There may be a discussion and often there is time for reflection. If you wish your child to be withdrawn from these assemblies, please contact your child’s teacher or the Headteacher and alternative provision will be made.
