Where we respect other people's beliefs and differences

In our Church of England Primary School, the intent of Religious Education (RE) is to provide high quality teaching and learning opportunities to enable children to develop knowledge and understanding of the Christian Faith and its significance in the lives of believers.  Our progressive curriculum promotes understanding and respect from different faiths, beliefs and traditions represented in Great Britain today.  We believe that it is important to encourage and inspire children to be aware and open minded to the identity and diversity of other religions and cultures including those represented in our local community.

At Sandal Castle Primary, the teaching of Christianity is at the core of our RE Curriculum and we work closely with St. Helen’s Church to further embed the Church of England’s fundamental values for education; wisdom, hope, community and dignity.

Through effective RE teaching, we strive to nurture pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development which supports children’s personal growth and well-being.
