Introduction

At the centre of our curriculum are our school aims and drivers and RE is key to ensuring that children aspire to become independent and responsible members of a society who understand and explore big questions about life, to find out and respect what people believe and what difference this makes to how they live, so that they can make sense of religion, reflecting on their own ideas and ways of living.  At Seaburn Dene, RE is accessible to all: we give every child the opportunity to have access to RE lessons weekly as part of the main teaching timetable.  Through high quality delivery, our vision is to provide our children with opportunities for them to learn about and from religions and worldviews in local, national and global contexts, discover, explore and consider different answers to these questions.

RE in EYFS

RE is a vital part of every child's journey at Seaburn Dene; our youngest children engage in RE. EYFS provides evidence within a Learning Story display, floorbook and individual children’s Learning Journal slides on the Shared Drive.
