At Templars Academy we are dedicated in delivering a high-quality Religious Education and Worldview curriculum. We recognise that this will support pupils’ religious literacy. Alongside the Essex Agreed Syllabus, 2022, we see being religiously literate as meaning the pupils will have the ability to hold balanced and well-informed conversations about religion and worldviews. Pupils will be able to make sense of religion and worldviews around them and begin to understand the complex world in which they live. RE is primarily about enabling pupils to become free thinking, critical participants of public discourse, who can make academically informed judgements about important matters of religion and belief which shape the global landscape.

Aims

• To know about and understand a range of religious and non-religious worldviews by learning to see these through theological, philosophical and human/social science lenses.
• To express ideas and insights about the nature, significance and impact of religious and non-religious worldviews through a multidisciplinary approach.
• To gain and deploy skills rooted in theology, philosophy and the human/social sciences engaging critically with religious and non-religious worldviews.

 

Pupils’ progress is assessed in relation to the purpose and aims of the subject. Therefore, this primarily concerns how well pupils are able to hold balanced and well-informed conversations about religion and worldviews. In other words, are pupils becoming more religiously literate?

Parents/ Carers have the right to withdraw their child from all or part of Religious Education. If you would like more information, please contact the school office.
