RE
Religious Education at St John's is a core subject which is fun, creative and interactive. Following the Kent Agreed Syllabus and guidance from the Diocese of Canterbury and Rochester, we look into all of the main world religions and explore their key beliefs, how they worship and how they live their lives. We ask big questions, explore our own opinions and question those around us and learn how our own beliefs influence us. We also enjoy exploring our learning in creative ways using artefacts, food, trips and visitors to help us understand the diversity of the world around us. Learning to discuss our own beliefs is a key part of RE here and we value everyone's opinions and encourage the children to develop their own spirituality. Here at St John's we learn to respectfully disagree with one another, enabling us to develop into accepting and positive citizens of the future.
In July 2024 we were awarded the Silver Award for the Religious Education Quality Mark. The Quality Mark celebrates the work we are doing in school, and recognises high quality RE and good practice.
