At Mulgrave Primary School, we are committed to delivering a high-quality Religious Education (RE) curriculum that fosters respect, understanding, and curiosity about different faiths and worldviews. Using the Greenwich SACRE guidance, we ensure our weekly RE lessons provide engaging and meaningful opportunities for all our pupils to explore beliefs, values, and traditions. Through thoughtful discussions, storytelling, and reflective activities, we encourage our children to develop a deeper awareness of their own identities while appreciating the diverse world around them.
We believe that Religious Education plays a vital role in promoting inclusivity and mutual respect within our school community. By following the Greenwich SACRE framework, we provide a balanced curriculum that introduces children to major world religions, ethical questions, and philosophical ideas. Our lessons not only equip pupils with knowledge about different faiths but also help them develop critical thinking skills, empathy, and the ability to ask meaningful questions. We aim to nurture an environment where children feel confident in expressing their thoughts and respecting the perspectives of others.
Through our whole-school approach to RE, we celebrate the richness of cultural and religious diversity within our local community and beyond. We enrich our curriculum with visits to places of worship, guest speakers, and whole-school events that bring learning to life. By embedding the values of respect, tolerance, and open-mindedness, we prepare our pupils to become thoughtful, compassionate individuals who contribute positively to society. At Mulgrave Primary School, we take pride in ensuring that our RE curriculum inspires curiosity, deepens understanding, and encourages every child to value the beliefs and traditions that shape our world.
