Our school follows the Catholic Education Service's updated Religious Education Directory (RED), entitled To Know You More Clearly. This curriculum is designed to deepen our children's understanding of the Catholic faith and its relevance in daily life.

Aims of Religious Education

 The aims of religious education are:

Outcome of RE in Catholic Schools

The outcome of excellent religious education is religiously literate and consciously engaged young people who have the knowledge, understanding, and skills – appropriate to their age and capacity – to reflect spiritually, and think ethically and theologically, and who recognise the demands of religious commitment in everyday life.

• There are 6 branches of the new curriculum.
• This is a spiral curriculum; themes are revisited for a deeper understanding of Catholic belief and practices. 
• This design is to help learners to make links between the four knowledge lenses: hear, believe, celebrate and live out the Gospel message. 

How will the children learn?

Ways of knowing in Early Years

The Religious Education Curriculum is enriched by ways of knowing and throughout the curriculum children will experience, be taught through, and learn by understanding, discerning, and responding. Children will be enabled to SEE-JUDGE-ACT. Early Years children will use the same process by using age-appropriate language. What will I see and hear to help me understand? How will I discover more? What can I do now?
