Religious Education

RE at Blenheim Primary School:  Throughout Blenheim Primary School, we aim to develop children’s skills of enquiry, reasoned argument and reflection. We are a diverse, multi-faith school and community and offer a rich and varied curriculum to reflect this. Children follow ‘Big Questions’ each term which allows their learning to be focussed on specific ideas and beliefs of a range of religions. Children learn to respect and ask questions about different religions, traditions and cultures around the world. Across the school year, we aim to make RE relevant by studying and celebrating real events, such as Harvest and Diwali. We believe children learn best from real experiences to capture their imaginations and encourage curiosity. We try to enhance our curriculum in many ways to ensure this is how children learn and respect different religions. Children are taught to think about our School Core Values, the British Values and their own personal values in understanding how people of different backgrounds or beliefs may share similar values, whilst differing in others.
