SEPTEMBER 2014
Twilight session to focus on ways in which to manage time/incorporate/make links for RE
within your new curriculum model.

FIRST, THE TIME ISSUE…In KS1 for example, if English and maths are taught during the morning sessions then the remaining 9 subjects (no MFL required) get half an afternoon each with one session remaining to share. (Collective worship should not come out of curriculum time).Over a year, 36 weeks, that gives each foundation subject and RE an additional 4 sessions.
In KS2 following a similar pattern but including MFL, each foundation subject and RE may be given one session (usually of one hour) per week.
SECOND, BLENDING RE WITHIN A THEMATIC OR CREATIVE CURRICULUM APPROACH…
Incorporating RE within a thematic approach will depend largely on the themes themselves and how well the teaching objectives and learning outcomes of the statutory ‘fields of enquiry’ may be addressed.It may be necessary to teach some discrete RE lessons or have BIG RE learning days to ensure that the statutory elements of the Agreed Syllabus are met.We will consider further how this issue may be addressed as it will apply to all subjects of the new curriculum where a school follows a thematic or creative curriculum model.
THIRD, TEACHING RE WHILST MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF OTHER SUBJECTS(& VICE VERSA)
Looking at the statutory requirements and guidance of the Programmes of Study for each subject in Key Stages 1 & 2 we can see many opportunities to meet the attainment targets of RE whilst teaching, for example, English, art & design, history, music, etc.Where you think that the new curriculum has left gaps (e.g. science & the environment,WW1)… RE may be the vehicle to include something that has always been popular and considered worthy of study.
Every state-funded school must offer a curriculum which is balanced and broadly based and which:
promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of society, and
prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life. The school curriculum comprises all learning and other
experiences that each school plans for its pupils. The national curriculum forms one part of the school curriculum.
All state schools are also required to make provision for a daily act of collective worship and must teach religious education to pupils at every key stage and sex and relationship education to pupils in secondary education.
See Section 78 of the 2002 Education Act: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2002/32/section/78 which applies to all maintained schools. Academies are also required to offer a broad and balanced curriculum in accordance with Section 1 of the 2010 Academies Act: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/32/section/1
WHAT IS STATUTORY IN RE?The six Fields of Enquiry are the only statutory elements of our Agreed Syllabus: Beliefs, teachings and sources Practices and ways of life Expressing meaning Identity, diversity and belonging Meaning, purpose and truth Values and commitments
…and the related teaching objectives and learning outcomes are what needs to be covered in KS1 and KS2.
Will need careful mapping and auditing in a thematic curriculum model.

Is RE included and published online in exactly the same way, as part of this requirement?
