1 Much Birch CE Primary School Religious Education Policy Document

2 Policy Statement for Religious Education Religious Education at Much Birch School is taught in accordance with the Herefordshire Agreed Syllabus and all other legal requirements. Our approach is through distinctive R.E. led topics, which allow: - Specific teaching about religious practices. Opportunities for children to explore moral issues, questions about self, relationships and the world around us. Pupils are encouraged to: - Develop a coherent understanding of each faith studied and recognise its distinctive features. Identify ideas and practices which are shared by religions, Reflect upon their and others experience so as to become aware of the spiritual dimension of life. We recognise that R.E. plays an important role in the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils (although this development is the concern of the whole curriculum.) Through R.E., Collective Worship, Values Education, Circle time and all other curriculum subjects, pupils will be helped to reflect upon those aspects of human life and the natural world, which raise questions of the ultimate meaning and purpose, and to recognise the spiritual dimension of experience. R.E. and morality are not the same thing although R.E. is one of the subject areas that can contribute to moral development. Our school community provides a context for moral learning and experience. We aim to provide a clear, consistent and secure moral framework that will help pupils to explore the moral questions, which affect them. R.E. contributes to social development through the relationship pupils have with members of their class and school, their teachers and with others with whom they come into contact. R.E. fosters cultural development by enabling pupils to understand the way in which society and particular groups within society are bound together by their beliefs, practices, lifestyles, values and attitudes. The Legal Framework for Religious Education The Education Act (1996) and the School Standards and Framework Act (1998) requires that: Religious Education should be provided for all pupils in full-time education except for those withdrawn at the request of their parents [s352 (1) (a)]. This will include school children in Reception classes. Religious Education must be taught in accordance with an agreed syllabus in Voluntary Controlled schools (apart from when parents request RE to be denominational or taught in accordance with the Trust Deed.) [1996 Act s376 (1); 1998 Act s71 (1)] As part of the curriculum, Religious Education should play its part in promoting the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils. (1996 s351 (1) (a)] An agreed syllabus should reflect the fact that the religious traditions in Great Britain are in the main Christian, while taking account of the teaching and practices of other principal religions represented in Great Britain [1996 s375 (3)]

3 DFE Circular 1/94, paragraph 32 states that an agreed syllabus must not be designed to convert pupils, or to urge a particular religion or religious belief on pupils [Education Act 1996 s.376 (2)] Aims for Religious Education The overall aim of R.E. in schools is to contribute educationally to the development of pupils as individuals and members of society, by fostering a reflective approach to life in the context of a growing and understanding of the experiences, attitudes, beliefs and religious practices of mankind. Our aims are: - To provide pupils with knowledge and understanding of Christianity and other principal religious traditions represented in Great Britain. To develop understanding of the ways in which beliefs influence people in their behaviour, practices and outlook. To develop in pupils a capacity to engage in a search for meaning and purpose in order to enhance their own spiritual and moral growth. To encourage pupils to develop a positive attitude towards all people regardless of their religious beliefs Equal Opportunities All pupils, irrespective of ability, gender or ethnic origin are entitled to an education that will provide the opportunity for them to develop, to the best of their abilities, a competence in all aspects of R.E. Staff provide a variety of experiences / activities during a course of study and during a lesson, employing teaching methods and resources that allow all pupils to have equal access to R.E. and to experience success and enjoyment in their work. Other Educational Needs Provision for children with Special Educational Needs and those children who are gifted and talented will be addressed through the planning process. Differentiation To ensure that all children are equally challenged, all teachers include in their planning differentiated opportunities. There are various strategies for differentiation which include: - By recall / outcome. By task.

4 By recording when children are offered opportunities to record their work in a variety of forms (pictorial, written, oral etc.), which are appropriate to their age and maturity. By support. By expectation when teachers set the children tasks with clear learning objectives based on knowledge and evidence of the children s previous achievements and their ways of learning. By time. By interest. By organisation when teachers vary their grouping strategies and teaching methods to reflect the needs of their class. Classroom Organisation R.E. lends itself to, and benefits from, a wide range of teaching and learning modes which include: Whole class teaching. Group work. Paired work. Individual work. Classroom organisation is the responsibility and preference of individual class teachers The Role of the Incumbent Within R.E. the incumbent is able to offer a range of practical support and advice. He is willing to assist teachers in their delivery of R.E., either in school or church. The Organisation of Religious Education R.E. at both key stages combines a thematic and systematic approach to the study of religions. The Christian festivals are revisited on an annual basis and careful planning ensures progression. Topics have been allocated to ensure that all children are taught the entire Agreed Syllabus. The knowledge, skills and understanding identified in the two attainment targets (At 1 Learning about religion, At 2 Learning from religion) are developed through the three themes of the syllabus. Believing What do people believe? Expressing How do people express their beliefs? Living How do beliefs influence actions? In the Infant department R.E. is taught for a minimum of 36 hours and at Key Stage Two for a minimum of 45 hours per year. Time allocation is made up of R.E. lessons and class discussions during Circle Time activities and Values Education.

14 Short Term Planning Short term planning contains the information that will best enable the delivery of the specified learning outcomes. In deciding how to achieve the desired outcome, the level descriptions are used to ensure that tasks set are at an appropriate level. Lesson content is planned with emphasis upon creative and expressive activities and the development of skills. Learners should be provided with a range of experiences and opportunities to enrich and broaden their learning in R.E. R.E. Skills Progress in R.E is dependent on the development of a range of skills, which enable learners to understand concepts. Investigate Ask relevant questions; Know how to use different sources to gather information. Interpret Draw meaning from artifacts, symbols, stories, works of art and poetry; Suggest meanings of religious texts. Reflect Ponder on feelings, relationships, experience, ultimate questions, beliefs and practices. Evaluate Refer to different views and use reason to support own ideas; Weigh the respective claims of self interest, consideration for others, religious teaching and individual conscience. Empathise Consider the thoughts, feelings, experiences, beliefs, values of others; See the world through someone else s eyes; Develop the power of imagination to identify feelings such as love, wonder, forgiveness and sorrow. Analyse Draw out essential ideas and distinguish between opinion, belief and fact; Distinguish between key features of different faiths. Synthesise Make connections between ideas and different aspects of religions in a coherent pattern; Connect different aspects of life into a meaningful whole. Apply Apply what has been learnt about beliefs and values to a new situation. Express Explain concepts, rituals and practices; Articulate matters of deep conviction and concern by a variety of means not only through words; Respond to religious issues through a variety of media. Discern Identify the significance of what has been learnt for their own lives; Develop insight into personal experience and religion; Explore the positive and negative aspects of religious and secular beliefs and ways of living.

15 Assessment Assessment in R.E. forms an integral part of teaching and learning and is not a bolt on activity completed at the end of a topic. It is not possible or appropriate to assess all aspects of pupils work in R.E. It is inappropriate to make judgments about pupils personal beliefs, opinions and reflections. It is however possible to assess progress in the development of knowledge, understanding and skills. Assessment enables teachers to gather information about pupil learning and progress. Class teachers assess children against the learning outcomes for lessons and this informs future planning. At least once per term a planned learning activity will be identified as a specific assessment opportunity. These activities use a wide range of methods, e.g. observation, listening to pupils, questioning, setting tasks which require the use of key R.E. skills, written tasks, discussion, self and peer assessment activities. The assessment scales in the Agreed Syllabus should be used as a planning tool to help teachers gauge whether their own expectations are realistic and sufficiently challenging to enable pupils to make progress in R.E. The level descriptions are not used to give feedback to pupils or parents. Curriculum Review On Curriculum Days the R.E. coordinators review the planning process completed by each class teacher to: Check coverage to ensure that all requirements of the Agreed Syllabus are being adequately met. Identify any gaps or unnecessary repetition. Ensure that appropriate resources are identified and, where necessary, are acquired. Review work completed by pupils to monitor standards throughout the school. As R.E is identified on the school development plan lesson observations will be conducted by the SLT to allow the quality of teaching and learning to be monitored. Policy and Curriculum Review This policy is reviewed every three years, as identified on the school development plan, by the R.E. coordinators in consultation with all other members of staff. Monitoring of R.E. taking into account the views of all staff will be an ongoing process and any identified needs will be prioritised and recorded on planning sheets informing the school improvement plan. Inset Provision The school attempts to provide all members of staff with the opportunity to develop their skill in R.E., either through appropriate school based or county led in service training.

16 Resources All teachers have a copy of this document with an extra copy available in the office. Copies of the Agreed Syllabus have also been distributed to all staff. Where appropriate, teachers make use of a wide range of resources in the teaching of R.E. They include: Information technology Audio / Visual materials Artefacts Buildings Visits / Guest speakers Written materials Topic packs of books and artefacts can be ordered through the Schools Library Service.
