At Lainesmead Primary and Nursery school, we believe that Religious Education (R.E) is an essential part of our students’ development, fostering a deeper understanding of themselves, others and the world around them. We are committed to providing an inclusive and open learning environment where our values of compassion, respect, curiosity and responsibility guide our approach to Religious Education. We strive to create an environment where all students feel respected and valued, regardless of their religious or non-religious backgrounds.

Our curriculum focuses on the importance of discussion. Students are encouraged to reflect upon their lived experiences and engage with the lived experiences of others. Through open and honest enquiry, we help students appreciate the diversity of worldviews that shape our communities.

We understand that everyone sees the world through their own unique lens, shaped by personal experiences, culture and belief systems. We recognize the diversity of worldviews, and our curriculum encourages students to consider how beliefs and practices can vary not only across different religions but also within them.

Through Religious Education, we aim to equip our students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to navigate a diverse and interconnected world.
