R.E
Welcome to our new RE Curriculum
Our passion at Seaburn Dene is to ensure RE lessons are interesting, challenging and a time during which children can reflect on their own beliefs and those of others.
Our Jigsaw scheme is in line with the Agreed Syllabus for RE in Sunderland and Durham. Schemes are considered by teachers to be the basis for planning work but are adapted to suit the needs of the class. Also to consider within our planning is the rich cultural heritage of the North East and how we can enhance our learning through visiting "experts" and visits out.
Teachers assess each pupil continually and make a judgement when completing modules. Teachers decide whether children are at a basic, advancing or deep level. Advancing is where we would expect the majority of the class to be. However, we believe in a challenge and support curriculum so assessments help us to plan strategies and activities to help children at basic level move towards advancing and, similarly, enable us to find ways for children to work at a more deep level. Assessments are handed to me twice a year so that the progress of children and groups can be monitored, teachers challenged and, determined to continue to improve standards, they are at the core of professional dialogue .
