Religious Education
At Charles Saer, Religious Education is taught in accordance with the Lancashire Agreed Syllabus ‘Searching for Meaning’. This curriculum outlines the curriculum intent and methods of implementation that will enable all pupils to achieve well and attain high level outcomes by the end of each key stage. The curriculum is taught from Reception to Y6. It develops pupils’ knowledge and understanding of Christianity amongst other religions and religious traditions. It teaches pupils to develop respect for others, including people with different faiths and beliefs and helps to challenge prejudice. RE prompts pupils to consider their responsibilities to themselves and to others and to explore how they might contribute to their communities and to the wider society. It encourages empathy, generosity and compassion.
RE is taught, as in other curriculum areas, by starting from the pupils’ own life experiences and relating these to similar or different experiences of other people in the local community and in the wider national and international community. We encourage discussion, questioning and exploration.
