Religious Education

"FaitH is to believe what we do not see, and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe." ST augustine.

 

Our vision for Religous Education at All Saints

RE is about helping children and young people hold balanced and well-informed conversations about religion and belief. RE asks challenging questions about the meaning of life, beliefs about God, issues of right and wrong and what it means to be human. It develops students’ knowledge and understanding of Christianity, Islam, other religious traditions, and other world views that offer answers to these challenging questions. It offers opportunities for personal reflection and spiritual development. It enhances students’ awareness and understanding of religions and beliefs, teachings, practices and forms of expression, as well as of the influence of religion on individuals, families, communities and cultures.

RE encourages students to learn from different religions, beliefs, values and traditions, while exploring their own beliefs and questions of meaning. It challenges students to reflect on, consider, analyse, interpret and evaluate issues of truth, belief, faith and ethics and to communicate their responses.

RE encourages students to develop their sense of identity and belonging. It enables them to flourish individually within their communities and as citizens in a diverse society and global community.

KS3 Pathways

 

 

KS4 Assessment

 

Homework

KS3

Follows the Masters of Recall programme. All students are given a Masters of Recall booklet according to their year group, these booklets contain the Knowledge Organisers for the topics they will be studying in Religious Education.

Students are set homework via assignments on Teams. Students are given clear instructions which part of the Knowledge Organiser they need to learn using one of the revision strategies at the front of the Masters of Recall booklet.

When the homework is due in class, students are expected to show the classroom teacher their completed revision strategy and then they will complete ten multiple choice questions based on the knowledge learnt.

 

KS4

At GCSE, students are given a range of different homework activities which centre around crucial knowledge.

These include Total REcall, Seneca and Microsoft Forms (multiple choice questions). These homework’s coincide with the crucial knowledge being taught in the lessons. As students move towards key assessment points and the GCSE exams, homework will also include answering exam questions from sections of previous exam papers.

 

What is the Impact of our work?

We use artefacts to help bring religion alive. Here are some Hinduism artefacts to help students understand the major deities.

 

Here are some examples of Y7 work. RE allows students to reflect upon their spiritual and human experiences in a creative way. Here are some ideas about God.

The students were asked to think about the concept of stewardship and came up with some top tips on how to look after our environment!

Reading Journey

 

Humanities Prefect

Hello, my name is Archie, and I am the Humanities prefect. I wanted to take on this role in order to inspire other students in these subjects which include Geography, History and Religious Education. Learning in these subjects encompasses a variety of interesting and diverse topics, delving into the past and present, as well as exploring different cultures around the world.

Within KS3, I really enjoyed all of the Humanities subjects and managed to excel within all of them which led for me to acquire a passion for them, this continued to develop throughout the three years. I then decided to take Geography at GCSE along with doing Religious Education which I am thoroughly enjoying and hope to encourage people to see a fun and exciting side to learning these key subjects, like I do.

My aim as Humanities Prefect is to support and encourage others in these subjects. I want to foster a kind and inclusive environment and advocate for how we can all make a difference to the world based on our learning in these subjects.

My intention is to develop extra-curricular activities that are not only fun for all but link into the topics within the Humanities subjects to further support learning, keeping at the core inclusivity and making sure that everyone finds these interesting and engaging. This would also result in more varied opportunities for students to participate in within the school, such as competitions and quizzes. Importantly, by doing all of this, we are going to be able to apply learning to the real world and have a positive effect on the environment and others.
