Breadth of Study Map

Below is a link to our breadth of study for Religious Education (RE).

The breadth of study map ensures that every child receives their full curriculum entitlement as they progress through the school.

We plan and deliver our curriculum on a two year cycle of learning (Cycle A & Cycle B).

Key Skills Progression Plan

Our curriculum begins in the Early Years Foundation Stage. As part of the process of developing the skills progression documents, we have met as a staff team and carefully considered the prerequisite skills required for our EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) children to be ready to access the National Curriculum at the beginning of Year 1. These prerequisite skills can be found by clicking on the link below.

Below is a link to our Skills Progression Plan document for Religious Education.

At Great Finborough Church primary School, we place great emphasis on progressing the skills of our children in all areas of the curriculum, their learning and in life as they grow up and flourish.

Key skills and subject knowledge is built on lesson by lesson, week by week and year on year. Some key skills are specific to a given subject but many skills are also transferable.

By learning, developing, improving and mastering key-skills in a subject, we believe our children will be able to apply those skills to any topic and subject matter and transfer those skills to many aspects of their life in and out of school.

Curriculum Milestones and Assesssments

Below are the links to our Religious Education (RE) Milestones for Key-Stage 1, Lower Key-Stage 2 and Upper Key-Stage 2. These documents outline what we expect our children to achieve in Art at the end of each of the 3 key time periods in Cycle A and Cycle B of our Breadth of Study Maps.

Each area of the Curriculum Milestones links to the Art curriculum which develops the understanding of the children in key questions in different faiths relating to ‘Beliefs, Teachings & Sources’, ‘Practices and Ways of Life’, ‘Forms of Expression’, ‘Identity & Belonging’, ‘Meaning, Purpose & truth’ and ‘Values and Commitments’.

These areas of the curriculum repeat, adding to the skills and knowledge of the children, every year as the children progress through the curriculum.

Children achieve at a ‘Basic Level’, the ‘Expected Level’, or a ‘Deep Level’. Curriculum Milestones are used as our assessment and tracking tool in Religious Education (RE).

 RE Milestone 1 - Key Stage 1 - Cycle A

RE Milestone 2 - Lower Key Stage 2 - Cycle A

Living & Fulfilling our Christian Vision in RE

Rooted in Faith; Enriching Young Minds

‘Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop- a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.’

(Matthew 13 Verse 8)

Our parents and carers entrust us with the most precious of gifts in their lives- their children. It is our responsibility to take this most precious of seed and provide them with the best opportunity to grow as individuals and to learn how to contribute to the wider communities they belong to.

We believe that a broad and balanced curriculum, and the daily life and work of our school, provides the deep and fertile soil. This is needed by our pupils, the seeds, to enable them to put down roots for stability, warmth for support and nutrients (knowledge and skills) to flourish.

As the early shoots of growth begin to appear, the individuals in our care not only need a fertile soil but also need the right additional conditions to truly reach their full potential and to prepare them to fulfill their life in the wider world to which they belong. This enrichment is provided through a curriculum where first-hand and real life experiences and opportunities are at its heart. This enrichment enables our children to learn, develop, retain and apply their newly learned knowledge and skills from, and to, the world around them.

By the end of their journey with us, if we have been successful, our seeds will have grown in to strong, flourishing and caring individuals ready for their next stage of learning and will increasingly use their strength, knowledge, skills and love to support and benefit others to flourish- If achieved, this will in time produces a crop greater than that which was originally sown.
