Religious Education

Our aim is to engage, explore and reflect in all our RE lessons. Each child learns how to explore: Hinduism, Sikhism, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Humanism, as well as Christianity in full. Making the RE lessons exciting, cross- curriculum, colourful, hands on and interesting for all will ensure every child is engaged, while having opportunities to Reflect on themselves, other religions, non-religions and with the wider community.

Our links with the wider community, religious visitors and trips to holy buildings are excellent which enriches their knowledge even further within each religion. The Baha'i faith is briefly explored too.

We, as a whole school, get involved with charity work, locally and world wide agencies with our 'Lumbertubs helping others' moto. 

The children are very much encouraged to bring in their own religious Holy Artefacts to show their class and be entered into the “at home artefact book” for the whole school to enjoy.

As a whole school, we have an array of RE assemblies throughout the year too, either with religious visitors or children showing what they have learnt within RE lessons. The 'whole RE school display' is done once a year where all children participate in planning, designing, making and displaying their own religious model.

In accordance with the Northamptonshire RE scheme of work 2018-2023, all children are assessed using the AT1 and AT2 targets. A new scheme will be launched in 2025.

'Parents have the right to choose whether or not to withdraw their child from RE without influence from the school, although a school should ensure parents or carers are informed of this right and are aware of the educational objectives and content of the RE syllabus. In this way, parents can make an informed decision.'
