RE

Intent

At Great Kimble we provide a rich RE curriculum where children are educated to become confident, happy and successful learners within a caring Christian community.

Our Christian Values: Respect, Thankfulness, Endurance, Forgiveness, Love and Hope are embedded in all aspects of our curriculum. Together with our Ethos and School Vision they help to provide an environment that encourages our children to play a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community, now and throughout their lives.

We believe our RE curriculum inspires and engages children in real-life learning opportunities, fostering a Love of learning in RE and equipping them with the skills to be respectful and understanding of other faiths.

We seek to use our teaching of RE to create 'theologists' so that our children:

show an outstanding level of religious understanding and knowledge
ask significant and highly reflective questions, giving personal reflections on meaning and purpose
have a strong understanding of how the beliefs, values, practices and ways of life within any religion cohere together
break down any preconceptions about a wide variety of faiths and the people who follow them
