Beliefs and Values Education (RE)

Beliefs and Values

I am Mrs Townend and I enjoy leading this diverse and engaging subject.

At Etchells, we seek to provide a broad and balanced Beliefs and Values Education which enables the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of our pupils whilst promoting the key British Values of mutual respect and tolerance.

Our wide-ranging and varied curriculum enables children to develop a knowledge and understanding of the religious beliefs and practices of the major religions represented in Great Britain today: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism.

Pupils are given opportunities to encounter and respond to different religions, beliefs, values and traditions, while exploring their own beliefs. A variety of teaching approaches are used to engage the children. Visits are often made to places of worship, in particular our local Cheadle Mosque. Visitors are welcomed, including from the local Jewish school, and we enjoy a variety of multi faith assemblies and events each year which help us to celebrate diversity and understand the practises of different faiths at key dates in the year.

How does the Early Years Curriculum get our pupils ready for the Y1-6 Curriculum?
