"The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out." Proverbs 18:15
At Great Whelnetham C of E Primary school, we believe that RE provides children with the opportunity to learn about, as well as from, religion. It enables them to appreciate the principle religions in England and to gain an understanding of the beliefs, cultures and influences that shape people’s lives and behaviour.
We believe this is the best way to prevent racism and combat prejudice. RE lessons provide opportunities for self-reflection and for children to think about their own identity within a rigorous curriculum.
