At Hillsborough, we foster tolerance and respect through learning about different cultures and beliefs. Religious education is taught throughout school and we ensure that all faiths are studied so that children have a full understanding of different faiths and cultures and have opportunities to discuss a wide range of philosophical ideals in order to develop a sense of self and self-belief. 

Our curriculum:

• Will develop children’s natural curiosity whilst encouraging them to believe in themselves to ask critical questions.
• Gives our children a better understanding of the society in which they belong to and that of the wider world.
• Values the importance of RE in the curriculum to support how children can become more confident in understanding religions.

Key Elements Explored in RE:

• Symbols, Leaders and Artefacts
• Stories, Festivals and Teachings
• Connections and Comparisons.

These aspects have been taken from the Sheffield SACRE scheme of work alongside the 2014 National Curriculum.
