Intent

It is our intent for the Religious Education element of our school curriculum to equip our children with the knowledge and skills to answer challenging questions, give them the opportunity to see other people's points of view and nurture an environment of respect and tolerance. We want our children to value the opinions of others to prepare them for their future lives in the hope they will contribute to a more tolerant society.

At Ashfield Primary School, we use a Believing and Belonging agreed syllabus where units have been carefully selected to ensure every child broadens their knowledge of our diverse range of cultures and beliefs in the world.

The syllabus use 6 pathways to help children learning.

Pathway 1- Nature of Religion and Belief

Pathway 2- Expressing Beliefs

Pathway 3- A Good Life

Pathway 4- Personal Journey

Pathway 5- Influence and Authority

Pathway 6- The Big Picture
