Religious Education
Subject Lead: Mrs Ross
At Seaton Academy, Religious Education is both a core academic subject on our curriculum and a subject that allows children to be inspired, to reflect and ask questions that are complex, exciting and enable them to deepen their understanding of the wider world around them. The curriculum enables children to study a range of religious and worldviews and reflect on their own opinions. We provide opportunities for children to understand how our school values are widely held across many key world religions and worldviews.
Here at Seaton Academy we live by our schools British Values:
- Courage
- Kindness
- Patience
- Compassion
- Respect
- Pride
- Resilience
- Honesty
These values are integrated into our everyday teaching and learning. We also refer to them discretely in our religious lessons. These are embodied through our school mission statement: '
“Educating our children with the skills they need to live fulfilling lives”
At Seaton Academy, RE is a vibrant and exciting subject to teach. We teach our lessons by using and adapting the Agreed Syllabus and Maestro Curriculum, which explores the significant theological concepts of our 6 key world religions through key celebrations and festivals. As well as learning about religious beliefs and practices, we also learn through religion and apply principles to other aspects of life.
We aim to teach and model to our pupil’s the understanding of the ways in which beliefs influence people's behaviour, practices and outlook. Through our Religious Education curriculum, we aim to engage pupils in enquiring into and exploring questions arising from the study of religion, faith and belief, so as to promote their personal, spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. We believe it is important to provide our pupils with the knowledge and understanding of Christianity and other principal religious faiths, traditions and beliefs represented in Great Britain and the wider world. We encourage pupils to develop a positive attitude towards people who hold religious beliefs different from their own. Parents have a right to withdraw their child from all or part of RE. If you wish to do this, or discuss this option further please e-mail admin@seatonacademy.co.uk and we can arrange a meeting to discuss.
