RE

At St Gregory's in RE, in age and stage-appropriate ways, we aim to ensure all children:

grow in understanding of who God is for us as a Catholic community
grow in knowledge and understanding of Jesus's life and teachings
gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of the Catholic tradition and the liturgy of the Church
recognise and appreciate the spiritual and religious dimensions of life through feelings of awe, wonder, delight and joy
examine their own and others' religious feelings, views and responses
use their knowledge and understanding of the teachings and examples of Jesus Christ to follow in his footsteps in their own lives, now and in the future
experience a 'rich' curriculum that is meaningful, memorable and motivating
benefit from the highest standards of teaching, learning and assessment
have opportunities to learn about and live out our Mission Statement
have opportunities to practise our 'Seven Skills of the Steward' (team-working; problem-solving; empathy; creativity; resilience; gratitude; peace-making)

At the moment, we are in a state of transition between the old and new framework. We are on an exciting journey and have started to implement the new framework called 'To Know You More Clearly' from Reception all the way to Year 4. We continue to use 'The Way, The Truth and The Life' for Year 5 and Year 6 while the Religious Education Directory (RED) is being rolled out systematically. The school delivers Religious Education lessons for 10% of the overall curriculum time.
