Religious Education

Religious Education Directory - To know you more clearly

Our new Religious Education Directory – To Know You More Clearly published by the CES, sets out the purpose of RE from Early Years Foundation Stage to Year 9 and features a programme of study with a model curriculum, corresponding to the six half-terms of the school year.

Based on the constitutions of the Second Vatican Council and rooted in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the objective of the curriculum is religiously literate and engaged young people, with the knowledge, understanding and skills to reflect spiritually, think ethically and theologically, and recognise the demands of religious commitment in everyday life.

The scheme is divided into 6 Branches one for each half term, with all year groups following the same branch.

  • Branch 1 Creation and Covenant
  • Branch 2 Prophecy and Promise

Spring Term

  • Branch 1 Galilee to Jerusalem
  • Branch 2 Desert to Garden

Summer Term

  • Branch 1 To The Ends of The Earth
  • Branch 2 Dialogue and Encounter
