Religious Education
At St Helens CE Primary School, Religious Education plays a vital role in nurturing our children’s spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development. Rooted in our Christian ethos, our RE curriculum encourages respect, understanding, and empathy towards people of all faiths and none. Through a knowledge-rich approach, children explore Christianity and other major world religions, learning about diverse beliefs, traditions, and practices.
Our progressive curriculum aims to develop inquisitive learners, confident in discussing life's big questions. Pupils engage with stories, teachings, and values from different religious perspectives, promoting critical thinking and reflection. We focus on fostering an inclusive environment where every child is valued, and where equality and diversity are celebrated.
At St Helens, we believe that Religious Education prepares children not only for academic success but also to make positive contributions to society. Through lessons grounded in Christian values of love, kindness, and respect, we equip our students with the tools to navigate an ever-changing world with compassion, open-mindedness, and a deep sense of responsibility.
Together, we create a space where children can shine brightly, achieving their full potential and being inspired to approach life’s challenges with confidence and care.
