At Watchfield Primary School, we use Kapow Primary’s Religion & Worldviews scheme of work to support our Religious Education planning and teaching, ensuring that high quality Religion & Worldviews lessons are delivered across the school from EYFS to Year 6.
Kapow Primary’s Religion and Worldviews curriculum aims to develop deep thinkers who are open-minded about religion and worldviews. The curriculum is relevant to children, reflecting and preparing them for life in modern Britain. Through the scheme, children will secure a deep understanding of concepts in order to be able to make connections, ask and respond to challenging questions, learn to respect and appreciate worldviews that are different to their own and consider their personal preconceptions, responses and views.
Children will build their conceptual knowledge through studying religions and worldviews locally, nationally and globally in the progressive curriculum, enabling them to make links and connections between worldviews, develop disciplinary skills and build on their understanding of their positionality in relation to their learning . By revisiting key ‘big questions’ and building on prior knowledge, children will learn about how religion and worldviews are lived experiences across the world, consider the impact of worldviews on society and have opportunities to consider their personal worldviews
.
Kapow Primary’s Religion and Worldviews scheme of work enables pupils to meet the government guidance, which states that RE must reflect that ‘the religious traditions in Great Britain are, in the main, Christian while taking account of the teaching and practices of the other principal religions represented in Great Britain’. The scheme fulfils both the aims of the ‘Curriculum framework for Religious Education in England’ and the ‘Locally Agreed RE Syllabus for Oxfordshire’.
