--- title: "RE" url: "https://stjohnscliviger.co.uk/curriculum/re" school: "St John's C.E. (VA) Primary School, Cliviger" --- # RE ## RE Curriculum Here at St John’s we believe that high quality Religious Education (RE) is the key to enabling every child to flourish. We are committed to using high quality resources that will provide teachers with the knowledge and skills they need to ensure that the children experience the best RE curriculum. By embracing the explicit teaching of Christian concepts and God’s big salvation story, it is hoped that pupils will gain a deeper understanding of Christianity. In addition, pupils explore all major world faiths and discuss world views where appropriate. Whoever we are, wherever we live, whether we are a person of faith or not, we all have a view on the world. Nobody stands nowhere.

RE SMSC and British Values 267 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-va-primary-school-cliviger/files/documents/RE_SMSC_-_British_Values_PDF.pdf) Parents may legally withdraw their children from all or part of Religious Education as is described in our RE Policy. If such a request for withdrawal is made, the Headteacher will explore reasons for the request and seek to arrive at a solution to ensure that the withdrawal of pupils from worship and/or Religious Education does not insulate them from the religious life of the school. ### Diversity Team and Worship Monitors ### Equality Team Y2-Y6 [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-va-primary-school-cliviger/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/equality-team-y2-y6/IMG_8352.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-va-primary-school-cliviger/images/gallery/equality-team-y2-y6/IMG_8352.jpeg) ### Worship Club [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-va-primary-school-cliviger/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/worship-club/IMG_8349.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-va-primary-school-cliviger/images/gallery/worship-club/IMG_8349.jpeg) **Flourishing at St John’s Cliviger** [YouTube video](https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/EZO3PrZJsVs?rel=0) Parent Leaflet - Why RE is Important to Us at St John’s Cliviger 884 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-john-s-c-of-e-va-primary-school-cliviger/files/documents/parent-leaflet.docx) ### Easter service and competition ### Bishop Philip ### Annual World Faith Day ### Pupil Voice - *'We all get a Bible in Year 2 that guides Christians and then in Year 6 we get an older one without pictures' -* Year 2 - *'RE allows us to learn about acceptance of others and what they might believe' -* Year 4 - *'It is important to learn about my faith so I can understand the faith of others' -* Year 3 - *'Teaches us how to do things like relationships and friendships with others because we use our Christian Values' -* Year 5 - *'We can see others are different and our faith friends and trips out let us see this for real.

They are now used in traditional Indian family celebrations like weddings. #### Bhangra Dance This style of dance came from Punjabi farmers and was used for celebrations. We heard the Dhol drums in the background! Some of our Muslim faith friends used this style of dance at parties.
