Religious Education Curriculum Overview

In Key Stage One, Religious Education is taught using the ‘Come and See’ programme. We cover 9 topics throughout the year, and whilst the theme behind the topic is the same for all the children, the topics are different for each year group – allowing the children to explore new aspects of the same theme.

 

The children will spend the first week of term exploring School Rules and Class Charters. They will spend the second week exploring our Mission Statement.
