Intent, Implementation and Impact
Our curriculum ethos has been specifically designed for our learning community and it supports us to plan and teach and evaluate our success.
I have a voice
The RE curriculum at Appletree gives children regular opportunities to share their ideas, ask questions and express their own beliefs and values in a safe and respectful environment. Through stories, discussions and reflective activities, children are encouraged to listen to others while confidently explaining their own thoughts and feelings.
I reach my potential
Our ambitious curriculum encourages pupils to learn from different world views, values and traditions, helping to prepare them for later life in a diverse society. Through engaging, well-sequenced lessons, children develop lifelong skills such as reflection, empathy, and respectful discussion which support them in reaching their potential.
I have opportunities
The RE curriculum gives children opportunities to visit places of worship and welcome visitors from different religions, helping them learn firsthand about diverse beliefs. They also take part in a range of religious celebrations, developing curiosity, empathy, and respect for others.
I am happy and safe
The RE curriculum helps children feel happy and safe by creating a respectful and supportive environment where their ideas and feelings are valued. Through discussions, reflection, and learning about kindness and respect, children develop confidence and a sense of belonging.
I am healthy
The RE curriculum supports children to be healthy by encouraging emotional wellbeing through reflection, discussion, and understanding of different values and beliefs. It helps them develop positive relationships, empathy, and the skills to express their feelings in a safe and respectful way.
