At St Philip's, which is a voluntary aided Catholic primary school, the teaching of Religious Education fulfils the guidance as outlined in the Religious Education Curriculum Directory for Catholic schools, colleges and academies in England and Wales 2023, "To know You more clearly." We currently use ‘Come and See, ‘Caritas in Action’ and ‘Ten:Ten’ as schemes of work, amongst other resources and external providers, in order to deliver a high-quality Religious Education curriculum.
We aim to support every pupil in developing their full potential in Religious Education. We recognise that children come to school with a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and levels of understanding. Each child begins their faith journey at a different point, and we are committed to guiding and nurturing them as they grow in knowledge, belief, and spiritual awareness.
It is our intention to help each child grow in knowledge and understanding, discover and develop their gifts and talents, build positive relationships, deepen their thinking and emotional awareness, nurture a love of learning, and grow in their ability to pray, reflect, make wise choices, and move towards the fullness of life as a human being.
In line with our school’s Mission Statement, Religious Education holds a central place within our curriculum, and we seek opportunities across all subject areas to reinforce the values and teachings of our faith.
