How to SOAR in RE and Worldviews
Our goal for RE and Worldviews is that by the time they leave Nythe, each child will:
- Have knowledge and understanding of, the beliefs and practices of Christians and people of other principal world religions, and non-religious world views.
- Be able to explain how beliefs and practices can inform and change the way people see the world and the way they live and treat others.
- Have an understanding of differences held within a religious or non-religious worldview and of the similarities of beliefs and practices held in common by people within and across traditions
- Be equiped to be sensitive to others’ beliefs, able to express their own views well, show curiosity and have the skills to ask appropriate questions when meeting people different to themselves
- Make sense of religion and worldviews around them and begin to understand the complex world in which they live.
- Make academically informed judgements about important matters of religion and belief which shape the global landscape.
All humans have viewpoints, lenses through which they see the world. At Nythe Primary School, we believe every child should be supported in understanding that ‘everybody stands somewhere’. In other words, everybody has a personal worldview which affects how they see life, the world around them and other people. This worldview may be related to a particular religion or secular organisation; it may grow, develop and change over time. ‘Where do I stand?’ requires all pupils to think deeply about different religions and worldviews, and the complexity and diversity of belief and practice which surround them. It also requires discussion of ‘big’ questions, which provide space for all to draw on new learning, to explain their own ideas, and to form, strengthen or refine these.
Our intent in the teaching of Religion and Worldviews is to provide an enquiry-led approach to learning from EYFS (Reception) to Year 6.
