Religious Education

We follow the Emmanuel Project Scheme for RE, designed to match the Suffolk Agreed Syllabus

​

Who is this scheme for?

This scheme of work meets requirements for the Suffolk RE Agreed Syllabus 2012. It is suitable for Community and Voluntary Controlled C of E primaries and follows the Emmanuel Project scheme of work.

We teach RE in mixed age classes. This means that we follow a cycle of RE plans over a two year period. The above chart shows which cycle is taught each year to ensure children cover all areas as they move through the school.

​

EYFS

The scheme of work meets the requirements of the Suffolk Agreed Syllabus p.20-21 i.e.

a. to introduce Christianity as the ‘heritage religion’ of the country and the one that most

influences school and community life

b. to build on religions represented among the pupils e.g. different Christian denominations

or the major world religions, so the experiences and interests of children can be used as

starting points for learning and teaching.

c. To sample from major world religions, outside the children’s experience, in order to extend

their knowledge and understanding.
