Studying Religion at DCPS

At Desford Community Primary School, the teaching of Religious Education (RE) is aligned with the  Leicestershire Agreed Syllabus, fostering an understanding of diverse beliefs and practices within our multicultural community. Through engaging and thought-provoking lessons, pupils explore key religious concepts, values, and ethical questions, encouraging respect and tolerance for different faiths. Our RE curriculum promotes critical thinking and empathy, helping pupils to develop their own beliefs while appreciating the richness of others' perspectives. We aim to create an environment where pupils feel comfortable expressing their views and engaging in respectful dialogue, preparing them to navigate a diverse world.

Our aim is that children who leave our school in Year 6 will be able:

• To have a knowledge, understanding and respect for a range of world religions and individual beliefs (to understand our world).
• To have a positive attitude towards discussing all religions and world views; to offer ideas and give clear responses (to be curious and respectful).
• To consider, compare and contrast different religious beliefs (to make links).
• To explore and share their own beliefs, values and traditions (to be curious and make links).
• To be prepared for active citizenship in a diverse and rapidly changing world
