intent- our vision for RE

At Trimley St Martin the National Curriculum is used to underpin our school’s Religious Education Curriculum and planning. By learning about RE it enables our children to investigate and reflect on some of the most fundamental questions asked by people.
At Trimley St Martin Primary School our aim is to develop the children’s knowledge and understanding of the major world faiths including addressing fundamental questions, concerning the meaning of life.

implementation

At the heart of our implementation of RE lies the National Curriculum and
at Trimley St Martin Primary school we ensure that progression is planned into our scheme of work so that it offers an increasing challenge to the children as they move through the school.
At TSM we follow the Programme of Study for RE as suggested by the Suffolk Agreed Syllabus
As a school we use The Emmanuel Project written by The Church of England Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, which allows us to focus on a BIG Question for each of our units. Our planning especially allows for making links from previous years and recapping learning. Using the Emmanuel units to deliver concept-based teaching through an enquiry approach .

How the Emmanuel project supports learning

The Emmanuel Project is a complete curriculum programme for primary RE ,which provides 6 half-termly units for each year group
It provides a unit of work that focuses on a main question to explore, enquire and express in order to discover a final discussion

How the emmanuel project scheme is structured

1. Each unit begins with a unit overview, which offers practical advise regarding resources and teaching the unit of work
2. Each unit follows the same outline

Main question focus
Engage with the concept
Enquire into what there is to find out about the main question
Explore
Evaluate your RE learning
Express findings for others
Extend- think about the main question philosophically

Mastery in RE lessons

Those working towards expectation will work on the same tasks but may need greater support from using frameworks to complete their tasks.
Pupils working above expectations are expected to undertake activities with greater independence and be provided with some opportunities to make choices on how they learn and communicate their knowledge.
