Purpose of Study
Religious Education helps children explore big questions about life, belief, and values, fostering respect, understanding, and spiritual growth. At our school, we follow a progressive curriculum: the Religious Education Directory from EYFS to Year 5, and Come and See in Year 6.
The National Curriculum and diocesan guidance state that a high-quality RE education should enable children to develop knowledge and understanding of Christianity and other world religions, reflect on their own beliefs, and consider moral and ethical questions. Through our chosen schemes, children engage with meaningful questions, stories, and experiences that encourage reflection, empathy, and respect for diversity.
Aims
Our RE curriculum, delivered through the Religious Education Directory and Come and See, aims to ensure that all children:
- Develop knowledge and understanding of Christianity and other major world religions.
- Explore fundamental questions about meaning, purpose, belief, and values.
- Reflect on their own experiences, beliefs, and moral choices.
- Learn to express their ideas and responses clearly and respectfully.
- Develop empathy, respect, and understanding for people of different faiths and worldviews.
- Make connections between RE and other areas of learning, seeing how beliefs influence culture, history, and daily life.

As a Catholic school, we teach religious education through the ‘Come and See‘ religious education programme recommended by, with support and guidance from, the Liverpool Archdiocese Christian Education Department. Themes are taught across the school through a range of topics, each with the focus on one of three themes: Christian Living, Church or Sacraments.
The process for delivering the topics in ‘Come and See’ has three stages – Explore, Reveal and Respond which enable children to develop knowledge, understanding, skills and attitudes. The process encompasses a variety of teaching and learning styles, which enable the needs of individual children to be met.
The programme also requires us to teach the children about other world faiths or religions: Judaism, Hinduism, Islam and Sikhism, which we do in Autumn and Summer terms.
