Religious Education

At St Wilfrid’s School, we are fully committed to providing opportunities for all children to know, love and serve God, in such a way that will enrich their own lives and help them to understand their Catholic Faith traditions, in an ever changing world and within the multicultural society in which they live. Through our RE curriculum, we aim to guide all children to become religiously literate young people who will have the knowledge and understanding of Catholic faith and life, how this can be taken into their own lives whilst evaluating and analysing religious beliefs and practice.

From September 2024, we will be teaching the new RE Curriculum 'To know you more Clearly' following the Year 1, Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4 objectives. EYFS are part of the Diocese working party and are planning a curriculum to meet the requirements of the RED for this age group. To support the new curriculum teachers will use a resource called “The Vine and the branches” as directed by Shrewsbury Diocese.

Pupils in Y5 and Y6 will continue to use the resource ‘The Way the Truth and the Life’ syllabus.

Each year group will explore 6 branches over the year.  These branches are progressive, building on previous knowledge and experience whilst taking into account of the children’s age and understanding. The scheme of work is fully aligned to Religious Education Curriculum Directory and it ensures consistency and progress of all children.
