Lakefield Church of England Primary and Nursery

Underpinning the requirements for Religious Education in our church school, is the ‘Statement of Entitlement for Religious Education’ as set out by the Church of England Education Office. This document sets out the aims for developing religiously educated individuals. We aim to include these aims into our own teaching, so that children in our school are provided with quality teaching and learning.

Children are taught Religious Education in a cycle that supports the class structure of the school, and whilst we provide the children with a broad, rich and experiential curriculum, which is delivered through a thematic approach, we keep the integrity of Religious Education by teaching this discretely within themes. 

At Lakefield we use the agreed Gloucestershire syllabus (a copy of which can be downloaded below) and Understanding Christianity.  Understanding Christianity dovetails with our agreed syllabus to form the foundation of our Religious Education curriculum.  Understanding Christianity can be viewed by following this link: Understanding Christianity.
