Religious Education at Cashes Green
It is our intent for the Religious Education element of our school curriculum to engage, inspire, challenge and encourage pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to explore diverse moral and religious questions. We encourage them to consider and study different religious beliefs, values and traditions in order to develop an understanding of the numerous faiths that are in today’s diverse society and wider world.
RE teaches pupils to develop respect for each other, including people with different faiths and beliefs and helps to challenge prejudice. Through our teaching of RE we seek to encourage empathy, generosity and compassion thus prompting pupils to consider their responsibilities to themselves and others to explore how they might contribute to their communities and the wider world.

Do we need subject specific vocabulary too for each unit? Could we put that on the coverage overview?
