RE Curriculum

At Templars, we are committed to creating a school where each child is valued and feels a deep sense of belonging within the Templars’ community.  We work hard to make sure that our curriculum reflects our learners and their reality; this makes learning at Templars dynamic, diverse and valuable.  The curriculum we present has been carefully crafted to ensure our learners are best prepared for the world around them – Tile Hill, Coventry and beyond.  This is because we want our children to be kinder, fairer, braver and better people; we want them to achieve these qualities as our modern world demands this of them.  Our children are the future of their communities and we are passionate about ensuring that they are ready for this responsibility.

An overview of our RE Curriculum

At Templars, we deliver our RE curriculum through a series of whole school curriculum days which enables us as a community to celebrate the different cultures within it.   This detailed curriculum is an enquiry-based approach which is led by a different enquiry each half term with each focusing upon one religion at a time.  Across a child’s learning journey at Templars, they will learn through six annual enquiries which focus upon Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism or Sikhism.  This is structured within the following yearly overview:

We want our children to be able to enjoy being with different kinds of people.  In order for them to achieve this, we have a responsibility to provide our children with the opportunities to understand and appreciate others in order to promote wider tolerance and social cohesion.  We believe our enriching RE curriculum is integral to accomplishing this at a level where our children are both confident, independent thinkers whilst holding an intrinsic respect for the thoughts and beliefs of others and are prepared for the complex world around them.  

The Templars RE  curriculum reflects our ambition to maximise children’s personal development and also shares our core school values of care, respect and honesty.  Through empowering children with knowledge of religious beliefs and building this through key questions and enquiries, our learners are able to better understand others which we know will support them to make more informed, conscious choices about how they can treat others respectfully.
