RE
At Burlington Junior School, we aim to develop pupils who are able to apply their skills, knowledge and understanding in a confident, meaningful yet courteous manner in the wider community.
The teaching of Religious Education undoubtedly parts a significant part in this, allowing pupils to have the cultural awareness and understanding that they need to succeed in life.
With this in mind, the RE curriculum has been carefully structured in accordance with guidance from the local authority’s Standing Advisory Councils for Religious Education (SACRE).
Through doing so, we aim to help pupils become reflective and articulate individuals who are able to express their own thoughts and beliefs in a considerate manner, whilst respecting diversity and individuality.
