RE

Vision for RE

At The Wells Free School, pupils come from a diversity of ethnic, cultural, religious, and linguistic backgrounds. Through the study of religious education, pupils’ understanding of the multicultural and multi-faith society that we live in today is promoted and combined with sensitivity to the differences of faith, culture and practice within our school which therefore leads to an atmosphere of tolerance and goodwill to others.  

TWFS promotes, supports and encourages excellent practice in the teaching of Religious Education (RE). The agreed syllabus aims to ensure that all children: 

• Develop understanding of concepts and mastery of skills to make sense of religion and belief, at an appropriate level of challenge for their age. From EYFS to KS2. 
• Develop positive and respectful attitudes and values and to reflect and relate their learning in RE to their own beliefs and experiences both presently and in the future. 
• Have the opportunity to learn that there are those who do not hold religious beliefs and have their own philosophical perspectives, and subject matter should facilitate integration and promotion of shared values whether they are religious or not. 

At TWFS, we are committed to providing our children with an exciting, positive and safe learning environment, in which they have the opportunity to develop their knowledge and understanding of religions, to share their beliefs and experiences without fear of judgment or negativity, while contributing to their spiritual, moral social and cultural development.
