At SMPS, RE begins with big questions that encourage children to think deeply about beliefs, values, meaning and purpose. Through our enquiry-based approach, children explore a range of world religions and worldviews, developing both knowledge and understanding alongside empathy and respect for others.

Throughout their time at SMPS, pupils have opportunities to visit a variety of places of worship and learn from people of different faiths and beliefs. These first-hand experiences help bring learning to life and deepen children's understanding of the diverse world around them.

Using the Discovery RE approach, pupils are encouraged to ask questions, think critically, discuss different viewpoints and reflect on their own beliefs and values. In doing so, they develop the skills needed to engage thoughtfully and respectfully with others in modern Britain.

Parents and carers can choose to withdraw their child from religious education (RE) lessons. Please complete and return to the form below to admin@sm.starmat.uk 

We use the Discovery R.E. scheme of work to deliver our R.E. Curriculum.

Our aim is for every child to leave South Milford Primary School with an understanding of different faiths and beliefs, the confidence to ask meaningful questions, and the empathy and respect needed to thrive in a diverse society.
