"In Church of England schools, where pupils and staff come from all faiths and none, religious education (RE) is a highly valued academic subject that enables understanding of how religion and beliefs affect our lives. At the heart of RE in church schools is the teaching of Christianity and pupils also learn about other faiths and world views." Church of England

Year 1 learned about Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest, and how families use special items such as a Kiddush cup and challah bread to celebrate. They decorated their own Kiddush cups and then used them alongside bread to take part in a simple Shabbat-style meal.

Class 2 have been exploring how Hindus worship. Through investigating what their senses can tell them about Hindu worship, they learned about worship practices in Hindu homes. The children were able to identify the key features of a home shrine and used this knowledge to help set one up in the classroom.
