Religious Education
‘With Christ, we grow in faith and understanding.’
At St Teresa’s, the teachings of Christ permeate our curriculum through the delivery of our Religious Education lessons as well as our wider curriculum being rooted in Catholic Social Teaching.
We follow the Birmingham Diocesan Scheme, ‘Learning and Growing as the People of God’; the beliefs and values that children are taught through RE lessons are prevalent through their own thoughts and actions.
Religious Education is allocated 10% of Curriculum time as required by the Bishops’ Conference. RE is not taught within a single afternoon; instead, taking place across multiple sessions within a week, following the Curriculum Directory guidelines and learning outcomes.
Through RE lessons, children are taught about our Catholic faith: they explore stories from the Old and New Testament; learn about the lives of the key figures in the Bible; explore key messages from Jesus’ teachings and parables; and reflect on the lives of the Saints.
At St Teresa’s, we develop and enrich the Catholic Life of our children with our Catholic ethos underpinning all that we do; our children are proud to be living out the Gospel message in all that they do as children of God.
