RE Leader: Katrina Liddle
Intent:
We are a Catholic school with Catholic Faith at the centre of our lives. We recognise and value every individual as special and unique in the image and likeness of God. Religious Education at St. Augustine’s respects and promotes each child’s innate capacity for wonder, awe, reverence and spirituality. Our Religious Education curriculum leads our children to aspire not to have more, but to be more; children are taught about God’s love; they learn about their Christian responsibilities; children are provided with experiences of church, Catholic and Christian traditions, as well as being taught to be respectful and understanding of people and traditions from other faith backgrounds.
Through Religious Education our children learn about their unique place within the home, school and parish community. Central to our ethos are the opportunities for prayer and worship which lie at the heart of our faith. We will promote and encourage these at every level, together with the skills and attitudes necessary to live out the Christian message in the modern world.
Our values are: Peace, love and integrity. All of which are integral to the children’s everyday experience and help them to live our mission statement: ‘Growing together.’
