Religious Education
As a Catholic school, R.E is at the heart of our school life.
The children follow “God Matters”, the Portsmouth Diocesan Religious Education programme, which forms the basis of the school’s Catholic RE curriculum. We deliver the content of this programme over a two year cycle, split into Year A and Year B. Where units are only taught in one year, both year group’s objective are covered e.g. in Year A, the Year 1 and 2 children will be taught all the Year 1 and 2 objectives.
In Year A, the children learn about Creation, Pentecost, Islam and Sikhism. In Year B the children learn about Prayers, Saints and Feasts, Sacraments, Hinduism and Judaism. In both years, they learn about the Mission Statement, Advent, Christmas, Lent, Holy Week and Easter.
