Article 14
Every child has the right to think and believe what they want and to practise their religion, as long as they are not stopping other people from enjoying their rights. Governments must respect the rights of parents to give their children information about this right.
Our Religious Education Intent At Mudeford Junior School
At Mudeford Junior School our Religious Education curriculum provides opportunities for pupils to learn from and about our planet’s worldviews in order to develop their respect and open-mindedness towards others with different faiths and beliefs, in and out of school, and to develop their own sense of identity and belonging through self-awareness and reflection. Through Religious Education, pupils will explore the spiritual, moral, social and cultural impact that worldviews have on local, national and the wider global community. This is underpinned by our intent to promote the rights and respects of children around the world.
Through planning and progression supported by BCP recommendations, we promote deeper enquiry and questioning. We encourage and enable our pupils to develop a knowledge and acceptance of religions and worldviews, with the skill to “disagree agreeably” whilst on a journey of faith discovery.
Our Religious Education curriculum can be accessed by all. Pupils are involved within local faith communities, such as that of All Saints Church, and its leaders as well as having opportunities to visit places of faith significance. Where able, visitors from different worldview communities are welcomed to share and celebrate their views with pupils, for example, to enrich the teaching of Santani story telling.
We strive to support our pupils at Mudeford Junior School to enter into the next stage of their education with an understanding, acceptance and respect for our worldviews to help build on their development as true global citizens.
