                     WELCOME TO HOPE FEDERATION RE ROLLING CURRICULUM MAP

This curriculum has been designed to support the planning and teaching of RE to enable children to flourish
through the fields of life.

Intent
At Hope Federation we believe in developing children’s religious literacy. This means that children will have the
ability to hold balanced and well-informed conversations about religion and worldviews. They will be able to make
sense of religion and worldviews around them and begin to understand the complex world in which they live.

In line with the current Norfolk Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education (2019), Religious Education will be
delivered in school to meet the agreed syllabus aims by:

   •   To know about and understand a range of religious and non-religious worldviews by learning to see these
       through theological, philosophical and human/social science lenses.
   •   To express ideas and insights about the nature, significance and impact of religious and non-religious
       worldviews through a multi-disciplinary approach.
   •   To gain and deploy skills rooted in theology, philosophy and the human/social sciences engaging critically
       with religious and non-religious worldviews.

At Hope Federation, we are committed to providing our children with an
exciting and positive learning environment, in which they have the
opportunity to develop their knowledge and understanding of religions
while contributing to their spiritual, moral, social and cultural
development.

Implementation
RE is taught as a multi-disciplinary subject allowing for children to view
different ideas and religions ‘through a particular lens’. These
disciplines include theology, philosophy and the human/social sciences
which are re-contextualised through the context of the school, teacher
and pupil.

                                  RE lessons are taught by a weekly topic block for each half term or term, planned
                                  by the teacher which is based on a Big Question. These lessons are planned and
                                  delivered using the enquiry-based approach which includes 5 stages:
                                  • Engage
                                  • Enquire
                                  • Explore
                                  • Evaluate
                                  • Express
                                  Through this enquiry-based approach children can expect:
                                  • an appropriate level of challenge is provided for all pupils
                                  • all pupils know they can achieve and there is an expectation of success
                                  • the learning is set in a real and authentic context, with a clear purpose, learning
                                  and relevance
                                  • a safe environment is created where all pupils are valued, so they can confidently
                                  agree to disagree and express themselves freely
    • pupils have a sense of ownership over what is being learned and how they are learning it
    • there is a clear learning journey and identifiable outcomes
    • there is space and time for reflection
    • assessment for learning is at the heart of teacher planning
Work is recorded in whole class RE books and can be evidenced against the Age Related Expectations for RE
through written piece, artwork, photos etc.

Impact
At Hope federation, we seek to ensure that all pupils in our schools are educated to develop spiritually,
academically, emotionally and morally enabling children to have developed religious literacy. Thus, enabling them
to better understand themselves and others and to cope with the opportunities, challenges and responsibilities of
living in a rapidly changing, multicultural world. As a result, children have developed a mutual respect for and
tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith.

Regular collective worship and celebrations of work taught and learnt during the RE week will help to celebrate the
diversity of the school community and promote positive images of people in the wider community, including their
beliefs, traditions, culture, language and history.

Within this document you will find the units of RE for each of the key stages. Each unit has the Big Question,
Concepts, Key Principle, World Views and Non- World View Focus, Operational Questions, Links to the Age-
Related Expectations (ARE), Links to the Norfolk Agreed Syllabus units, Planning and Resources and Ideas for
visits.

Each unit starts with the Big Question, which is linked to different world views and non- world views and key
principles (Theology, Philosophy and Human/Social Sciences).

The operational questions are a starting point for the teacher for the enquiry part of the planning cycle. The children
may ask other ‘little’ questions linked to the big question. These will and can be used to direct the journey of
lessons and unit of work.

Each unit has been linked with the key principle set of AREs. These can be found in the appendix. Please note
even though the units have a key principle, there may be links to the other two key principles. Teachers should use
the AREs to help inform their planning.

Where units link to the Norfolk Agreed Syllabus exemplar curriculum map, these have been plotted within the
curriculum and provide useful starting point for planning. Please be aware the Norfolk Agreed Syllabus units’ big
question may not completely match our big questions.

The final sections of the curriculum map; Planning/Resources and Visits have been provided to support teachers
with planning and resourcing. As this is also a working document there may not always be a resource or plan to
use within the units. If you find useful planning or resources, please let Rachel Felton know so that the curriculum
map can be updated.
Again, the ideas/example of planning are good starting points, but teachers should adapt this accordingly to meet
the needs of the children in their class.

Finally, to share best practice, ideas, planning and resources, there is a shared folder on google drive which
contains a variety of resources and planning that teachers may like to use. We also encourage teachers to share
their planning, resources and ideas with teachers across the federation, by placing them in the correct folder within
the shared folder. The Norfolk Agreed Syllabus exemplar units have also been places within the different folders.

We will have RE days over the years. Here are some possible ideas: Saints, RE in art, Crosses, Spirituality,
Humanism- Meaning and Happiness, Philosophy, Christmas, Easter.

For one form entry Reception classes, children will be immersed in RE through their day to day learning and
children’s interests. With a focus on Christianity (the bible, church, Jesus etc) and celebrations/festivals (Christmas,
Diwali, Chinese New Year, Weddings, Christenings, etc) Godly play- any of the parables, the holy family, Faces of
Easter, Holy Baptism, Creation, The Flood and the Ark. Understanding Christianity units can be used. Also the
‘Growing Foundations’ resources can be used to teach and support RE.
Please use the three units for Understanding Christianity starting with Creation (God) (Autumn term), Incarnation
(around Christmas) and Salvation (around Easter).
