The INTENT of Religious Education at Glebe

At Glebe Primary School, our high-quality RE curriculum is part of our whole schools values based curriculum. Children are encouraged to have open discussions on a broad range of topics, covering religions and their cultures. These are encompassed by the overarching ‘big question’ topics.

Religious education promotes respect and open-mindedness towards others, to nurture one another, and to inspire our pupil’s curiosity. Respect is at the forefront of this subject, bringing together different faiths, ideologies and beliefs. During our RE lessons, pupils develop a strong sense of their identity and belonging within the broader context of the school, and the wider community.

While engaged with the subject, our pupils document their responses to our ‘big questions’ within class books, which are displayed in our classrooms, allowing students to reflect on what they have learnt.

Spotlight within Religious Education - Year 2

Glebe offers pupils an array of enrichment activities to provide exciting, stimulating experiences that enhance our curriculum and children's individual learning.

Year 2’s overarching question for RE was ‘What does light represent?
In support of their learning, Year 2 experienced a fantastic workshop from the Diwali Dance Company, where children learnt a dance routine to explore the Hindu epic about Prince Rama and his wife Sita. Many smiles were had by all, and the children’s final dance routine was absolutely fantastic!

Spotlight within Religious Education - Year 5

Back in December 2021, Year 5 enjoyed a visit to Southwick Community Church, where Pastor Lynda and her team very kindly organised a quiz, based on the overarching question ‘What is the true meaning of Christmas?’ The children had an amazing time, and could talk confidently about what they had learnt.

I enjoyed seeing the different rooms in the church and loved the chocolate coin that was kindly given to us. The golden chocolate coin symbolised ‘gold’. Lily, Year 5 pupil
