R.E is lead by Mr Wymer.
At Teynham, we follow the Canterbury Diocesan planning for Religious Education. This planning plays a prominent role in our school curriculum. We follow the Kent Agreed Syllabus alongside Understanding Christianity, ensuring children gain a strong understanding of Christian beliefs as well as knowledge of a wide range of other religions and world views. Through engaging lessons, reflective discussions and meaningful experiences, pupils learn to think deeply, ask questions and appreciate the beliefs and values held by others. Our RE teaching supports children in developing respect, curiosity, understanding and criticality – helping them grow as confident and compassionate members of our school community.
The legal requirements for all schools are that:
Religious Education must be provided for all registered pupils in full time education except those withdrawn at their parents’ request (or their own request if aged 18 or over). (DfE Circular 1 / 94, paragraphs 44 & 49, and Non-Statutory Guidance 2010 page 28) Parent should speak to the headteacher if they would like to request to have their child withdrawn from RE.
