At Morpeth All Saints our curriculum is designed to ensure each and every child can live life in all its fullness (John 10:10) by offering stimulating and awe-inspiring learning experiences with Christian values as its foundation.

We aim to develop individual and collaborative learning experiences, a positive growth mindset, a sense of responsibility and challenges that take them beyond the classroom.

We provide opportunities for children to reflect personally on the big questions of life. Our broad RE curriculum includes a balance of theology, philosophy and social and human sciences or in other words, includes a balance of learning about believing, thinking and living, in relation to the religious and non-religious worldviews studied.

Our school welcomes those of all faiths and none, while having its foundation in Christian values and it is linked to our local Christian worshipping communities. RE is an important element of a broad and balanced education and along with other subjects forms the core curriculum.

Religious Education at Morpeth All Saints aims to:

• provide for all pupils to learn and achieve

• promote the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils and prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life.

• provide an inclusive and broad understanding of world religions and non-religious worldviews.

Our teaching of RE is full of discussion and answering key questions. Children dig deeper to make sense of religious texts, make connections with their life and understand the greater impact within the community and in the world.

We follow the Durham and Newcastle Diocesan syllabus, through the resource ‘Understanding Christianity’ for the Christian teaching elements at all Key stages and follows the pattern of learning about beliefs, understanding the impact in the lives of believers and making connections to other worldviews or their own lives.

At Morpeth All Saints we celebrate the wonderful diversity of thought, belief and practice that may be found within our school community and aim to expand children’s understanding of the even greater diversity of thought, belief and practice found across the globe and to help them engage with this diversity in a positive, inquisitive and respectful way.
