Religion and Worldviews Intent Statement
Through Religion and Worldviews we strive to nurture pupils’ awareness of the treasury of diversity as well as sensitivity to the questions and challenges that different views and cultures can present.
By exploring the main world religions – Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism along with worldview such as Humanism – children increase their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Through these lessons they make links to their own personal experiences, developing the key skills of reflection, acceptance, patience and tolerance.
This allows them to develop understanding and insight into experiences and practices that may differ or be similar to their own therefore equipping them to live within wider multicultural communities with mutual respect and tolerance for all people, regardless of their beliefs.
