RE

Implementation

At Bourne Westfield, Discovery RE is used to teach RE. This is an enquiry approach, and each unit begins with a ‘big question.’ The concepts taught are:

  • Special people
  • Creation
  • Incarnation
  • Salvation
  • Belonging
  • Community
  • Prayer and worship
  • Beliefs and practices.

These key concepts underpin learning in each year group. This enables pupils to reinforce and build upon prior learning, make connections and develop subject specific language.

The vertical accumulation of knowledge and skills from Years 1 to 6 is mapped as follows:
