At Grange Primary School, we follow the Hartlepool SACRE syllabus. The content taught is coherant and progressive, enabling pupils to deepen their knowledge and understanding of religious and non-religious worldviews. and their understanding of the complex, diverse and plural nature of belief systems. This also enables the development of key understanding through building on previous knowledge and supporting children in linking key ideas, religious understanding and theory.

The core units that are taught are used to deliver the core teaching and learning about Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Islam. Thematic units within the agreed syllabus are used which enable pupils to compare beliefs and practices between different faiths and beliefs as well as exploring non-religious worldviews.

Religious education is taught through belief, the expression of belief, the impact of belief and authority.

RE is provided for all pupils, and is inclusive and broad minded. Parents do have the right to withdraw pupils from RE: if you wish to do this, make an appointment with the head teacher / RE subject leader. The school does not support selective withdrawal from RE’.

SEND Statement

Grange Primary promotes a curriculum that puts all pupils, regardless of their needs, at the heart of what we do. By building mutual respect, we accept others for their differences believing that everyone is special and everyone has something to offer. Our inclusive and enriching curriculum, written for all children, provides pupils with meaningful and aspirational experiences as well as promoting personal growth for life-long learning. When the curriculum needs adapting to suit the needs of individual children, appropriate modifications are made by the class teacher with support from the SENDCo and the Curriculum Subject Lead.
