Religious Education curriculum

Intent for TVED RE

We aim to help children appreciate that they live in a multicultural country. They will develop an understanding of how religious beliefs shape people’s lives and behaviours, evidenced through discussions using appropriate vocabulary. They will develop the ability to make reasoned and informed judgements about religious and moral issues, enhancing their spiritual, moral, social and cultural knowledge and their understanding of key religious concepts.
