Religious Education at St Peter’s
At St Peter’s, we follow the Diocese of Blackburn’s Questful RE Scheme of Learning from EYFS to Year 6. This rich and progressive curriculum is rooted in our Church of England vision and values, enabling every child to flourish and experience “life in all its fullness.”
Our pedagogy combines learning about religion and learning from religion. Children learn about the God who reveals Himself through creation, scripture, His Son Jesus, and the work of the Holy Spirit through the living faith of the global Church. Children learn about the Christian faith empathetically and critically, responding personally to the stories and teachings of Jesus Christ and examples of Christian living. These experiences give priority to values such as unconditional love, forgiveness, reconciliation, justice, compassion, and faith.
Alongside Christianity, pupils learn about other major world faiths—their beliefs, traditions, and practices—through encounter and dialogue, fostering respect and understanding in a diverse society.
Religious Education at St Peter’s encourages children to talk openly and freely about their own beliefs, reflect theologically, and explore ultimate questions and challenges of life today. Our curriculum nurtures curiosity, deepens understanding, and develops pupils’ ability to think critically and compassionately about faith and the world around them.
Parents have the legal right to withdraw their child from Religious Education lessons or collective worship. If you wish to discuss this, please contact the Headteacher to explore the implications and alternative arrangements.
