 Religious Education Vision 

Our bespoke Religious Education Curriculum equips children with the knowledge, tolerance and respect needed to live peacefully alongside others and understand different views and experiences. We believe as the citizens of the future, it is important that children uphold and develop the school values 

How we learn in Religious Education
At Hujjat Primary School, we embed and showcase our values: service, gratitude, excellence, integrity, respect and compassion. We respect beliefs of all the children and staff and this encourages them to share their own experiences freely and with confidence. As part of our SHINE Curriculum, our children partake in daily collective worship, assemblies and visit places of worship. Children are able to handle artefacts and develop their understanding of all the major religions. We hold many community events and invite parents to participate and celebrate.  We think it is important for our children to be given these opportunities as it makes them inquisitive and confident to ask questions about the world around them. Our aim is to support children in developing their knowledge of Islam in relation to different religions and the understanding of different world views. 

How we deliver the Curriculum 

We follow the Early Years Framework and broadly the Standard Advisory Council for Religious Education (SACRE). Our youngest children begin by exploring RE through their own and others’ experiences and by developing their understanding of the world. Religious Education is taught by discussing and reflecting on ‘big questions’ outlined in our RE overview. Children learn and explore how these questions are reflected and explained in Islam and other major religions. By learning in this way, the children are able to see not just the differences between others and themselves but also the similarities, as well develop empathy and respect towards all peoples’ faiths, beliefs and practices.
