Our schools' RE Syllabus

All the schools in our Trusts have adopted the London Diocesan Board for Schools' RE syllabus. It is taught in a way that resonates with our vision and that is firmly rooted in the context-based vision of each individual school.

The aim of the syllabus is: 

• To enable all children to become religiously literate.
• To ensure RE enables all children to live life in all its fullness  (vision for Education of the Church of England and the LDBS Academy Trusts)
• To offer a systematic enquiry-based approach to the teaching of RE, so that the following skills in children can be developed, giving them the ability to:
  • be critical thinkers and to engage critically with texts;
  • ask deep and meaningful questions;
  • make connections within and across religions and world views;
  • reflect, respond and express their own religious, spiritual and/or philosophical convictions;
  • make their own choices and decisions concerning religion and belief based on a deep knowledge and understanding of religions and worldviews, belief systems, values and practices.

The syllabus meets legal requirements and reflects the Church of England Statement of Entitlement for Religious Education.
