Implementation
We follow two schemes – Understanding Christianity and South Gloucestershire’s Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education.
Attached below is a document showing the yearly overview. Understanding Christianity is highlighted in blue and Agreed Syllabus in red.
This outlines the big questions that are explored each term for each year group.
The children have weekly RE sessions and sometimes whole days focusing on topics.
Educational visits will support the children's learning and they have an opportunity to different places of worship.
Sorry there is no parking at school on Windmill Close. Please park safely on local roads; Whitehouse Street and other near by roads are for permit holders only.
Parking around Victoria Park is best; it is only a quick walk through the park to the front of school.
