Religious Education

RE Intent

At Newton Longville CE Primary School we are teaching Religious Education so that our children have a firm understanding of the world around them; that they are prepared to participate fully in life in modern Britain.  The purpose of our RE is to take pupils on a journey that inspires, captures and enthuses their imagination.  The enquiry-based curriculum encourages pupils to engage critically, reflect, analyse and evaluate and communicate their responses to what they encounter.  We follow the Oxford Diocesan scheme of work with resources from Understanding Christianity.  Religious Education develops knowledge and skills, so pupils can engage in meaningful and considered dialogue with those of all religions and none.
