At St Joseph's Infant school, we use the Kapow RE curriculum and scheme of work.

Kapow Primary’s Religion and Worldviews Curriculum aims to develop: 

• Deep thinkers who are open-minded about religion and worldviews. 
• Reflection and preparation for life in modern Britain.  
• A deep understanding of concepts in order to be able to make connections, ask and respond to challenging questions. 
• Respect and appreciation of worldviews that are different to their own.

Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews curriculum aims to develop deep thinkers who are open-minded about religion and worldviews. Our RE curriculum is relevant to pupils, reflecting and preparing them for life in modern Britain. Through the scheme, children will secure a deep understanding of concepts in order to be able to make connections, ask and respond to challenging questions, learn to respect and appreciate worldviews that are different to their own and consider their personal preconceptions, responses and views. Children will build their conceptual knowledge through studying religions and worldviews locally, nationally and globally in our progressive curriculum, enabling them to make links and connections between worldviews, develop disciplinary skills and build on their understanding of their positionality in relation to their learning . By revisiting key ‘big questions’ and building on prior knowledge, pupils will learn about how religion and worldviews are lived experiences across the world, consider the impact of worldviews on society and have opportunities to consider their personal worldviews.

Kapow Primary’s R&W scheme of work enables pupils to meet the government guidance, which states that RE must reflect that ‘the religious traditions in Great Britain are, in the main, Christian while taking account of the teaching and practices of the other principal religions represented in Great Britain’. Our scheme has been designed to fulfill the aims of A Curriculum framework for Religious Education in England
