Religious Studies

*Staff* Mrs K Saywood
*Curriculum overview* At Braidwood we want our learners to engage in an RE curriculum that leads to knowledge through enquiry. Learners develop an understanding of other religions and cultures that allows them to become questioning, more inclusive, accepting and understanding of others. We want learners to develop a cultured world view that encourages them to self–reflect and develop empathy for others. The skills and knowledge gained through the RE curriculum underpin core British values. Our goal is not to teach young people to be religious but how to better understand religion. Our curriculum acknowledges the big questions of life and how they may be answered in a number of different ways.
*KS3* In Key Stage 3 our areas of enquiry include: Continuity, Change and Diversity Words and beyond How to live a good life Making sense of life’s experiences Influence, community, culture and power The Big question
