Love Learning. Aim High. Trust God.
We aim to to engage, inspire and challenge pupils in RE. The curriculum will support children in becoming religiously and theologically literate and equip them with the knowledge and skills to answer challenging questions, explore different religious beliefs, values and traditions and develop a respectful understanding of our multi-cultural society. Pupils will develop an understanding of how RE prepares them to become resilient and respectful adults. Inspired by our bible verse, “Let your light shine,” Matthew 5:16, we aim for our RE curriculum to contribute to the spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development of our children and staff. Pupils will be afforded opportunities to learn about, and from, religions and world views in local, national and global contexts, to challenge, explore and reflect on big questions related to faith. Children will develop a systematic knowledge and understanding of Christianity, principal religions (Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism), and world views, which give life value.
Christian Values
Christian Values Education plays an important part of the curriculum at Hertford St Andrew. The whole school focuses on our chosen values and time is devoted to explore these values through Collective Worship, Religious Education and PSHE.
