Religious Education at Broughton follows the Lancashire Agreed Syllabus for RE – Searching for Meaning. The aim of this syllabus is to support pupils’ personal search for meaning by engaging enquiry into the question ‘What does it mean to be human?’- exploring answers offered by religion and worldviews.’
Studying RE helps to develop a knowledge and understanding of the beliefs and values which have shaped the world we live in and continue to have a huge impact on people throughout the modern world. RE provokes challenging questions about the ultimate meaning and purpose of life, beliefs about God, the self and the nature of reality, issues of right and wrong, and what it means to be human.
Approaches to Teaching and Learning in Religious Education
Teaching and learning in RE at Broughton aims to develop curiosity, investigative and questioning skills and an enquiring mind. By exploring issues within and across faiths, pupils learn to understand different religions, beliefs, values and traditions, and their influence on individuals, communities and cultures. Our aim is to encourage pupils to think for themselves and make informed decisions about their own beliefs, values and ideals and to make informed contributions to discussions about religious and non-religious worldviews.
