RE | St Augustine's Catholic Primary School

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.
