RELIGIOUS EDUCATION at Marsh Gibbon CE School
Please speak to Mrs Brown to find out more about our RE curriculum
INTENT
At MGS we strive to give our children the opportunities to explore and question a variety of beliefs and religions, so that they can become well rounded and respectful towards others.
The Jigsaw RE scheme is a multi-faith programme which uses stories and children’s own experiences to immerse them in discussion and discovery. British Values are explored and reinforced throughout many units. We encourage children to explore and share their own opinions and beliefs and those of others.
IMPLEMENTATION
We use Jigsaw RE as a guide to our planning. Each half termly unit follows the exploration of a concept through the investigation of a question. In each lesson, children are encouraged to develop their own understanding through discussion, questioning and practical application.
Each unit will have a quick quiz to assess understanding at the end.
At MGS we hope to give children the time and space through RE to feel comfortable to share their own feelings, beliefs and ideas.
As children progress throughout the school, they will build on what they have previously learned and thus develop their own understanding and appreciation of a variety of religions.
IMPACT
Throughout each lesson, children will be encouraged to ask and answer questions and to explore their own values and those of others.
At the end of each half term unit, children will be asked to demonstrate their understanding through the completion of a quick quiz to assess what they have learned and through self-assessment.
Through RE at MGS, we hope to create a safe environment where all children will feel confident and comfortable to discuss their own beliefs and values and those of others with respect and understanding, even if they are different to those of their own.
MGS Mission Statement:
Marsh Gibbon CE School believes that Religious Education (RE) should develop an awareness, understanding and respect of different faiths and cultures. Throughout their time at MGS, children will explore and enquire about a variety of different concepts enhanced by the study of different religions and festivals celebrated around the world.
We aspire for every child to develop an open and inquisitive mind susceptible to appreciate and respect other beliefs and religions, and to encourage and develop an interest in our multicultural world. Through creating opportunities to explore many faiths, our curriculum enriches and challenges the depth of understanding of the values and views held by others. Children will be encouraged to ask questions and reflect upon different views, enabling them to become open-minded, respectful and considerate towards all others in our world.
These are the five principles that underpin learning in RE across every class at MGS:

These are the five principles that underpin learning in RE across every class at MGS:
- We aim to create opportunities that inspire children to explore and question different beliefs
- Children will discover and learn more through studying texts, meeting people and reasoning
- By questioning and through discussion, children will develop an understanding and consideration of the beliefs held by others and by themselves
- Children will evaluate and analyse their findings to enrich their knowledge and deepen their understanding of our multi faith world
- Together, we will investigate and compare different concepts and religions to enable children to create their own informed opinions and beliefs.
