Our R.E. Vision:
As a church school at St James, we firmly believe that Religious Education is essential to our wider understanding of ourselves and the local and global communities we live in. Our R.E. intent is to provide children with the opportunity to understand themselves, their beliefs and those of the wider world around them, whilst thinking in a questioning and enquiring way.
Alongside other subject leaders, we have created a curriculum that builds on prior learning and skills throughout the different year groups, both for Christianity using the (Understanding Christianity resource) and other religions/faith enquiries.
