Religious Education

RE at Beechwood

From EYFS, up to Year 6, our children are taught the essential knowledge and skills taken from The Lancashire agreed syllabus for RE, Searching for Meaning, as adopted by Halton’s LA.  Our well-planned journey through the RE curriculum helps our pupils to build upon their prior learning and apply past knowledge to new situations; we are passionate about ensuring that our children’s learning transfers to their long-term memory. To ensure that this happens we constantly revisit concepts and themes both within year groups and subjects and across year groups and different subjects where applicable.

As soon as children come to our school, RE gives them valuable insights into the diverse beliefs and opinions held by people today. It helps with their own personal development and supports an understanding of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural questions that will surface again and again in their lives. We aim to encourage our children to value themselves and the communities within which they live.
