RE at Baldwins Gate

 RE is an important part of our curriculum here at Baldwins Gate. We follow the Staffordshire Agreed Syllabus using Understanding Christianity and RE Today resources to support our teaching of Christianity and other world religions.

In each class RE follows a question based approach, allowing pupils to engage deeply, develop their own beliefs and spirituality and grow as individuals with religious literacy and understanding of the diverse world in which we live.

From year one onwards the children have their own personal RE book as well as a class RE book in which discussions and children's thoughts and reflections are also recorded.

Our Prayer Corner
During April our prayer corner focused on praying for, and thinking about, all those affected by the Coronavirus as well as the NHS and all our key workers.
In May, as well as the still focusing on those affected by the Coronavirus we also added our bunting around our soldier to mark VE Day and to help us think about all those who fought in WW2 and those still affected by conflict today.
