RE

At Haimo School, we follow the Royal Greenwich Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education 2019-24 in Early Years, Key Stage One and Key Stage Two. The Agreed Syllabus places importance on the belief that in the primary phase pupils are able to find out more about their own faith and that of others around them.

Teaching and Learning at Haimo 

Early Years Foundation Stage

In the EYFS, RE is not taught as a distinct curriculum area, it is an integral part of topic work covered throughout the year. Through topics such as 'All About Me' and 'Celebrations', the children have an opportunity to discover more about their own faith and that of their teachers, peers and members of the local community. 

Key Stage One

Throughout Key Stage 1, pupils explore Christianity and three other principal religions. They learn about different beliefs about God and the world around them. They encounter and respond to a range of stories, artefacts and other religious materials, whilst learning to recognise that beliefs are expressed in a variety of ways. They also begin to understand the importance and value of religion and belief, especially for other children and their families.

Key Stage Two

Throughout Key Stage 2, pupils learn about Christianity and all five of the other principal religions, recognising the impact of religion and belief locally, nationally and globally. They make connections between differing aspects of religion and consider the different forms of religious expression whilst considering the beliefs, teachings, practices and ways of life central to religion.
