Curriculum – RE

At Silver Tree Primary School and Nursery, we follow the Durham Agreed Syllabus. We aim to develop knowledge and understanding of Christianity and other principal religions, traditions and world views. ​Religious Education promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of children, and prepares them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.

Through the teaching of RE, we offer children the opportunity for personal reflection and spiritual development. We encourage children to explore their own beliefs in the light of what they learn, examine issues of religious beliefs and faith, and consider their own responses to questions raised. Children will develop critical thinking and reasoning skills, listen to others, hear and analyse conflicting viewpoints and develop empathy and respect.​

Through the RE curriculum we encourage respect for all, including those with differing faiths and beliefs, as children develop understanding and appreciation of our diverse society and world.
