Within our school family, we nurture aspiration and resilience. Together, with God's strength, we move forward with courage and honesty, learn collectively with kindness, and provide hope to flourish. This is how we soar high on wings like eagles. 

Religious Education at Hilperton intends to promote religious understanding and respect, and to challenge prejudice. It is concerned with the promotion of each pupil's self-worth, enabling them to reflect on their uniqueness as human beings, to share their feelings and emotions with others and to appreciate the importance of forming and maintaining positive relationships. 

We value R.E. for its contribution to the development of the children's own beliefs and values, and sense of identity. A study of the major world religions contributes to children's general knowledge and cultural capital. Children will understand that for many people, their faith impacts their lives with regard to how they live and the moral decisions they make.

We believe that knowledge led learning within R.E. provides children with opportunities to: 

• develop subject specific knowledge and understanding of Christianity and other world faiths 
• explore key concepts within different faiths. This will help pupils to develop an understanding and respect for different faiths, beliefs, values and traditions 
• consider difficult and puzzling questions about the meaning and purpose of life 
• learn about religious teaching 
• develop their sense of identity and belonging so preparing them for life in a multi faith and multicultural society 
• develop skills of enquiry and response 
• reflect on their own experiences and to explore their own beliefs and values
