Religious Education at Tritlington
As a Church of England School Religious Education (RE) is taught as a core subject at Tritlington. The key purpose of RE in our school is to enable pupils to hold balanced and informed conversations about religion, world views, faith and beliefs. We are committed to giving our children the best possible start in life and enabling them to truly flourish as global citizens. This involves them becoming confident independent thinkers, who have a breadth of knowledge about the world in all its diversity, and are able to hold balanced, respectful and informed conversations about religion and belief.
Our school welcomes those of all faiths and none, while having its foundation in Christian values and it is linked to our local Christian worshipping communities. Day-to-day life reflects that Christian foundation throughout the whole curriculum and within the ethos of the school.
We enable pupils to know about and understand Christianity as a living faith that influences the lives of people worldwide and as the religion that has most shaped British culture and heritage. We want our pupils to know and understand about other major world religions and non-religious worldviews, their impact on society, culture and the wider world, enabling pupils to express ideas and insights. We encourage the development of pupils’ own spiritual and philosophical convictions, exploring and enriching their own beliefs and values.
We follow the Diocesan Syllabus and the Understanding Christianity materials. All our lessons use the ‘Big Questions’ approach which encourages children to think about life’s big questions in relation to faith and religion. The content of the RE curriculum is primarily Christian but a range of other faiths and world views are also taught across the school.
