At Mansfield Green E-ACT Primary Academy, the Religious Education Curriculum aims to promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of its pupils.
Pupils are taught about the historic faith of nation and city; their own religion; and wider pool of faith traditions and non-religious worldviews across the city. In Birmingham there are significant numbers of people from nine faith groups: Baha’i, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, the Sikh faith, Jainism, Judaism, and Rastafarianism. We aim to deliver a curriculum that is accessible to all as we are a multicultural primary academy, and we teach various religious and non religious views.
Religious Education promotes respect and open-mindedness towards others, and encourages pupils to develop their sense of identity and belonging through reflection and self-awareness.
We follow the Birmingham Syllabus for RE where pupils are taught through four ‘Dimensions of Learning’: Learning from Experience, Learning about Religious Traditions and Non-Religious Worldviews, Learning from faith and non-religious worldviews and Learning to Discern. They will also be taught 24 dispositions, which are qualities or marks of spiritual character we aim to develop in pupils.
