At Steephill School, we believe that Religious Education (RE) provides children with the foundation they need to understand the diverse beliefs, values, and traditions that shape the world around them. Our RE curriculum is designed to foster a sense of curiosity and respect, while helping children develop key skills such as reflection, critical thinking, empathy, and the ability to engage thoughtfully with different worldviews.
Each unit includes overarching ‘big questions’ which will be revisited throughout the key stages such as “Why are we here?” and “What is religion?”. Lessons are designed to be varied, engaging and thought-provoking.
We create an environment where students feel safe to ask questions with respect and understanding. We encourage children to adopt a philosophical approach to their learning, allowing them to think deeply and form their own reasoned responses. The impact of this is that the children know and understand religious concepts relating to beliefs, practices, community and belonging, and wisdom and guidance.
