“You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no result.” – Mahatma Ghandi
Vision
At Marton Manor Primary School, our vision for Religious Education (RE) is to foster a rich and inclusive learning experience that empowers our students with a deep understanding and appreciation of diverse religious and non-religious worldviews. Through our carefully crafted curriculum, children acquire knowledge of Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, and Humanist views, promoting a holistic approach to spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development. We aim to instil in our students the ability to make informed and reasoned judgments on religious and moral issues, encouraging thoughtful reflection on their own beliefs. By incorporating art, drama, and various active learning strategies, we create a dynamic and engaging environment, fostering respect for different perspectives and preparing our students to thrive in a society of diverse religions and worldviews. Our vision for RE extends beyond the classroom, with visits to local places of worship and opportunities for cultural exploration, ensuring that our students graduate from Marton Manor Primary School with a broad and open-minded perspective on the world around them.
