Religious Education & World Views

Intent

At Sylvester Primary Academy we follow the Knowsley agreed syllabus (Wirral agreed syllabus 2019) and aim to:

• Prepare pupils for the spiritual and intellectual challenges of living in a world with diverse religions and beliefs as well as non-beliefs.
• Enhance pupils’ awareness and understanding of the seven world religions, their practices and the influence those forms of expression have on individuals, families, communities and cultures.
• Allow pupils to explore their own beliefs and their sense of identity and belonging.
• Challenge pupils to reflect on, analyse and evaluate issues of truth, belief, faith and ethics and communicate their responses.
• Develop pupils respect for and sensitivity to others, in particular those whose faiths and beliefs are different from their own.
