RE Curriculum
Holy Family aims to educate the whole person in body, mind and soul and to help develop the unique gifts and talents of each individual.
Our Religious Education curriculum aims to:
- Present comprehension content based on the knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith;
- Enable children to deepen their religious and theological understanding and be able to communicate effectively;
- Develop an authentic vision of the church’s moral and social teaching;
- Raise children’s awareness of the faith and traditions of other religious communities to bring out respect and understanding;
- Develop children’s ability to relate their Catholic faith to daily life;
- Enable children to relate the knowledge they have gained from Religious Education to other subjects;
- Bring clarity to the relationship between faith and life, and between faith and culture.
At Holy Family we use the Lancaster Diocesan RE Curriculum Directory to plan and teach the content of our curriculum. Themes are supplemented by schemes such as ‘The Way, the Truth and the Life’, CAFOD ‘Universal Church’ Resources, ‘We Believe’ and ‘Caritas in Action’. These schemes are used to enrich and support the Curriculum Directory topics: Revelation, The Church, Celebration and Life in Christ.
