RE

At Seven Hills we believe it is important for all students to learn from and about religion, as part of developing an understanding of the world around them. Our RE curriculum supports the exploration of key school values including respect and tolerance; concepts such as respect and tolerance towards others with different faiths and beliefs and encourages pupils to develop their sense of identity and belonging through self-awareness and reflection. In doing so, RE plays a fundamental role both in preparing our pupils for life in modern Britain and in our pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Our RE curriculum is delivered through an inclusive, engaging and multi-sensory enquiry-based approach, through which our students can experience and respond to the beliefs and cultural practices of principle religions and worldviews in the local, national and wider global community. R.E. plays an important role, along with all other curriculum areas, particularly RHE and Citizenship, in promoting social awareness and understanding in our children. We encourage our students to ask questions about the world and to reflect on their own beliefs, values and experiences. We include and promote British values, ensuring that children are aware of their rights and responsibilities as UK citizens. Following the Sheffield SACRE’s Agreed Syllabus for RE

“Enquiring Minds and Open Hearts: Religious Education for all.” (2019), the following religions and belief systems have been selected for study:

• Christianity
• Islam
• Buddhism
• Judaism
• Hinduism
• Humanism
