Religious Education

Aims

The RE curriculum at Eastwick meets the requirements of the National Curriculum, the Surrey Agreed Syllabus and is in accordance with the school’s Curriculum Intent. Therefore, it prepares children to be ‘Ready for Everything’ in their futures in terms of: 

• Success in the next stage of their education and beyond: by demonstrating an appreciation of the nature of religion and belief; developing knowledge and understanding of Christianity, and of the other principal religions and beliefs represented in the UK, both through their history and their contemporary diverse expressions
• their ability to navigate life’s personal Challenge: by appreciating the important contribution of religious, non-religious and spiritual insights and values to the individual’s search for meaning in life, therefore enhancing their own spiritual, moral, social and cultural development
• understanding their place in communities at global, national and local levels and seize the Opportunity of the future: by developing the ability to make reasoned, informed, inclusive and creative responses to religious and moral issues; recognising the influence of beliefs, values and traditions on the individual, on culture and on communities throughout the world
