'Jesus said to Simon, “Don't be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.”
They pulled the boats up on the beach, left everything, and followed Jesus.' (Luke 5:10-11)

Religious Education

Intent - Why do we teach what we teach?

As a catholic school, our aim is that every child achieves their full potential as an individual made in the image and likeness of God. This includes the spiritual, moral, social, academic, physical and creative dimension of each child. Our R.E. curriculum is the vehicle through which we support and nurture children to achieve this potential and to develop a love and understanding of the teachings of the Catholic Church, God and each other.

Our intent is for children to learn about faith and learn to live the faith. The Gospel values promoted at Our Lady’s underpin every aspect of learning in our school and are central to everything we do. This is a place where children and adults unite together, learning in the love of Jesus.

We want our children to develop a respect for other beliefs and religions, and appreciate and celebrate the diverse world in which they live. The R.E. curriculum is also about, ‘Belonging,’ it aims to nurture pupils’ awareness of diversity so that all children show respect and tolerance of others and feel like they belong to our very special school community.
