RE

The school follows the locally agreed RE syllabus.

At Godolphin Primary School, children are taught to understand and respect the importance of religious beliefs in the world around them. We encourage children to use and develop their skills in RE and to participate in critical thinking. We aim to ensure that the RE curriculum is challenging, dynamic and relevant to pupils of all ages. In the Foundation Stage, Reception are taught through the major Christian festivals and local Cornish celebrations involving their own experiences. During Key Stage 1, the study of Christianity is introduced and aspects of Hinduism are taught.

Pupils also study the Holy books and stories from the major world religions. The main Christian festivals are celebrated.

There is also consideration for non-religious beliefs. In Key Stage 2, the study of Christianity is developed and religious beliefs within Buddhism, Judaism and Sikhism are explored.

Collective worship takes place daily. We also welcome visits from the local church groups and invite them to lead our worship.

A parent has the right to withdraw a pupil from attendance at collective worship and / or religious education.
