R.E.

At St Vincent’s School for Sensory Impairment and Other Needs, Religious Education plays a central role in supporting pupils to explore faith, belief, and values in ways that are meaningful, accessible, and inclusive. As a Catholic school, our RE curriculum reflects the values of our faith foundation, encouraging all pupils to develop spiritually, morally, socially, and culturally, while respecting the diversity of the world around them.

 

Through the RED curriculum at Key Stage 2 and Source to Summit at Key Stage 3, we provide a progressive and engaging programme of study that is carefully adapted to meet the needs of pupils with visual and sensory impairments. Lessons make use of storytelling, tactile artefacts, sensory experiences, and auditory resources to bring faith and belief to life, ensuring that every learner can participate fully and meaningfully.

 

Our vision is for pupils to enjoy Religious Education, to ask big questions, and to develop empathy, respect, and curiosity about the beliefs and traditions of others. In learning both about and from religion, pupils are supported to reflect on their own lives, to celebrate diversity, and to embrace values such as kindness, fairness, and community.

Religious Education at St Vincent’s is about more than knowledge of faiths and worldviews; it is about nurturing identity, belonging, and a deeper understanding of what it means to live well together in our school, our community, and the wider world.
