At Primrose Hill Primary School we believe it is vital for all our pupils to learn from and understand religion in order to appreciate the world and others around them.

Through the teaching of Religious Education across our school, pupils will broaden their own spiritual and moral dimensions of life, alongside developing their own knowledge of world faiths, beliefs, values and traditions of individuals, societies, communities and cultures.

We encourage our pupils to be inquisitive about the world and community they live in and to reflect upon their own beliefs, values and experiences. The Religious Education curriculum at Primrose Hill is enhanced further with opportunities for children to visit places of worship in our local and neighbouring area. We also welcome and promote guest speakers and volunteers from varying faiths and walks of life to provide children with first-hand experiences and to support the connections within our local community.

Throughout each topic, children will be given the opportunity to:

• Learn about the religious beliefs, teachings and questions about meaning,

• Learn about the different way in which the religion is expressed (including art and music)

• Learn about religious practices and how these build on values and morals.

This will enable children to understand a range of religions and world views, express ideas and the significance of religion to the modern world and gain skills that encourage them to raise questions and debate ideas.
