St Anne's Catholic Primary School

It is our mission to announce the joy of the Gospel by making Christ known today.

INTENT/What we aim to do through our RE Curriculum

As a Catholic School, Religious Education lies at the heart of our curriculum.

Religious education in Catholic schools aims to promote:

• knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith and life in Christ;
• knowledge and understanding of the response of faith to questions about human life, its origin and purpose;
• the skills required to engage in examination of and reflection upon religious belief and practice, including awareness of and respect for the beliefs and practices of other faith groups and religious communities.

IMPLEMENTATION/How we teach RE

Our RE Curriculum is defined by the Archdiocese of Birmingham and is entitled 'Learning and Growing as People of God'.

Adaptations are made to the curriculum so that it is accessible to all and so that no child is disadvantaged by Special Educational Needs or Disaibility.

Reception Class has created a collage using images of the Holy family, their families and disciples.

We learnt that Jesus grew up in a Jewish tradition of prayer and explored some prayers He would have learnt. We also learnt that the synagogue was a special place He went to hear the Old Testament scriptures and we looked at some religious artefacts and their significance to Jews and Jesus. Have a look at the posters we created after!
