In line with our fellow Diocesan schools, we follow the Diocesan lesson plans based on the new RED. This curriculum seeks to present the teaching of religious education in a sequential and progressive form. The framework has four structural elements:

• Knowledge lenses which indicate what should be known by the end of each age phase. These are split into hear, believe, live and celebrate.
• The ‘ways of knowing’ are the skills which develop as the children progress through their curriculum journey. These are split into understand, discern and respond.  
• Expected outcomes are set for each age phase and indicate what pupils are expected to know, remember and be able to do.
• Curriculum branches are the way the programme of study presents its model curriculum. There are six half term branches for each half term which are the same in each year group.

The overarching theme of this year is revelation, how do people know about God?

They explore the different ways in which revelation is experienced, beginning with revelation through Creation, then moving on to revelation in the incarnation of Jesus. They begin to make connections between the different branches to ensure that they make the link that Jesus is another way people meet God. Learners will then understand a simple account of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection before encountering the language and imagery of the revelation of God in the Holy Spirit

Knowledge Organisers for each branch of the curriculum can be found below.
