Witton Church Walk CofEReligious Education
Religious Education at Witton provides children with a safe space to critically reflect on their own religious, spiritual and philosophical convictions. It allows the children to develop their own faith and allows them to appreciate and value what it means to be a positive member of a diverse and multicultural community, through the study of a variety of religions. RE helps to develop children’s understanding of Christianity as a living world religion through the exploration of key theological concepts and engaging with biblical texts. The subject will introduce our children to a range of disciplines including theology, philosophy and human social sciences.

At Witton Church Walk, our RE curriculum is deeply rooted in core Christian concepts, providing a strong foundation for learning. These concepts are introduced in the early years and built upon each year, as we retrieve children’s prior knowledge and continue to develop their understanding. Alongside these Christian teachings, we also explore world faiths and perspectives from those of no faith, fostering an inclusive and respectful learning environment.
Through this approach, we ensure that students are continually growing in their faith and knowledge, while deepening their appreciation of diverse religious beliefs and secular viewpoints. By progressively exploring these concepts, we help students form a strong spiritual and moral framework, which they can apply in both their academic learning and daily lives. The aim is to ensure that each child’s understanding of faith, compassion, and service evolves over time, preparing them to engage thoughtfully and empathetically with the world around them.
