R.E Vision

At Priory, it is our intent that our children will develop knowledge that will last a lifetime, along with strong skills to prepare them for the world, enabling them to lead a successful life and make a positive contribution to their community.

At Priory, we equip our pupils for the future by making sure they are prepared for a world beyond school. R.E. teaches an understanding and respect of the different religions of the world. R.E. knowledge and British Values teach pupils to show respect and understanding for others and to appreciate that we have different views. We expect that they will appreciate and demonstrate an interest in others, using their voices to question and react to any extremism they encounter in today’s society.

The primary aim of religious education is to explore what people believe and what difference this makes to how they live, so that pupils can gain the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to handle questions raised by religion and belief, reflecting on their own ideas and ways of living. (Stoke-on-Trent Agreed Syllabus for R.E 2021-2026)

R.E is incredibly important in our school. It contributes to other areas of education and human experience with particular links to PSHCE. (Aesthetic, environmental, ethical, political, social, and spiritual) as well as the personal development of our pupils. R.E. helps to promote the children’s spiritual, moral, mental, social & cultural development. We maximise all opportunities for our children to experience music, art, expression and history as part of our R.E learning. These opportunities bring perspective, a wider world view and often help the children to make memorable links.
