Intent
- At Caldmore Primary Academy we want children to understand a range of religious and world views so that they can:
- Describe, explain and analyse beliefs and practises, recognising the diversity which exists within communities.
- Identify and investigate and respond to questions posed and offered by different religions and world views.
- Appreciate and appraise the nature, significance and impact of different ways of life and ways of expressing meaning.
- We want children to express ideas and insights about the nature, significance and impact of religions and world views, so that they can:
- Explain reasonably their ideas about how beliefs, practises and forms of expression influence individuals and communities.
- Express with increasing discernment their personal reflections and critical responses to questions and teachings about identity, diversity meaning and value.
- Appreciate and appraise varied dimensions of religion.
- To gain and deploy the skills needed to engage seriously with religions and world views, so that they can:
- Find out and investigate key concepts and questions of belonging, meaning, purpose and truth, responding creatively.
- Enquire into what enables different communities to live together respectfully for the wellbeing of all.
- Articulate beliefs, values and communities clearly in order to explain reasons why they may be important in their own and other people’s lives.
