Religious Education
Religious Education at Chapel End Infant School and Early Years Centre
At Chapel End infant school, the religious education is determined by the local Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (SACRE), that is responsible for producing the locally agreed syllabus for RE. RE supports our pupils to explore beliefs and values and promote virtues of respect and empathy, which are important in our diverse community.
Waltham Forest is rich in diversity of faith, belief, language and lifestyle. Here at Chapel End, our aim is that children develop a depth of knowledge, understanding and acceptance that is crucial for personal growth and for development of a broader education.
Intent
We believe that it is important for all our pupils to learn from and about religion, so that they can understand and respect the world around them. The aim of Religious Education in our school is to help children to acquire and develop knowledge and understanding of religions represented in Great Britain; to appreciate and respect the way that religious beliefs shape life and behaviour.
Implementation
Religious Education promotes an enquiry-based approach through the implementation of the revised London Borough of Waltham Forest SACRE (Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education), which covers the RE syllabus broadly. Children are encouraged to share their own experiences of religion; becoming experts within their classes when studying their own faith.
