Religious Education
At Our Lady of Grace Catholic Primary School, we want Religious Education to help our children grow in their faith and develop a deeper understanding of God and the teachings of Jesus. We want our pupils to know that they are loved by God and to understand how this should influence the way they live and treat others. Through Scripture, prayer, discussion and reflection, children are encouraged to ask questions, think about their faith and make links between what they learn and their everyday lives. We want our children to leave us with a strong sense of right and wrong, a respect for others and a desire to live out the values of Jesus through kindness, forgiveness, compassion and service.
RE PROGRAMME
We are delighted to introduce our new Religious Education scheme, Source to Summit: Lighting the Path, which will support our children’s learning from Reception through to Year 6. The scheme follows the Catholic Religious Education Directory (RED) and provides engaging, age-appropriate opportunities for children to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith. Through lessons, prayer, reflection and discussion, the children will be encouraged to explore their faith and develop their relationship with God, while building on their understanding as they progress through the school.

Other Faiths
At Our Lady of Grace, Lighting the Path helps our children grow in their Catholic faith while developing a respectful understanding of the diverse world around them.
Through Religious Education, children learn about Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Sikhism, as well as other religious and non-religious beliefs. We also organise faith workshops and visitors, giving children opportunities to ask questions, listen and learn directly about different faith traditions.
As a Catholic school, we believe this learning is an important part of living out our faith. It helps children recognise the dignity of every person, appreciate our differences and similarities, and develop respect, compassion and a commitment to living peacefully with others.
We want our children to be confident in their Catholic identity, curious about the world and respectful of people of all faiths and beliefs.
