Religion & Worldviews at Castleview Primary School

At Castleview Primary School, we use Kapow Primary’s Religion & Worldviews scheme of work to ensure high-quality, engaging Religious Education is delivered consistently from EYFS through to Year 6.

Our curriculum is designed to develop deep thinkers who are open-minded, reflective and respectful of different religions and worldviews. It prepares children for life in modern Britain by helping them understand diversity, challenge assumptions and appreciate the beliefs and experiences of others.

Through carefully sequenced lessons, pupils:

• Develop a secure understanding of key religious and worldview concepts

• Explore religions and worldviews at a local, national and global level

• Revisit and reflect on important ‘big questions’

• Build connections between different beliefs and practices

• Learn how religion and worldviews influence individuals, communities and society

• Consider their own positionality and personal worldview

The curriculum enables children to understand that religion and worldviews are lived experiences across the world. Pupils are encouraged to ask thoughtful questions, engage in respectful discussion and respond to challenging ideas with curiosity and empathy.

Our teaching reflects government guidance that Religious Education should recognise that the religious traditions in Great Britain are, in the main, Christian, while also taking account of the teaching and practices of the other principal religions represented in Great Britain. Kapow Primary’s scheme meets the aims of the Curriculum Framework for Religious Education in England and the Locally Agreed RE Syllabus for Berkshire.

Religion & Worldviews is taught weekly at Castleview and is further enriched through guest speakers from a range of faith communities, helping children to engage with authentic lived experiences and deepen their understanding of the diverse world around them.

Our R.E Leader is Mrs Boubker
