Curriculum Intent
September 2023 is the implementation of the new Surrey Agreed Syllabus 2023-2028. In Early Years, the units explore questions such as 'Why Do We Have Celebrations' and 'What Makes a Place Special'.
In Key Stage 1 and 2, there is a Thematic Unit in the second half of the summer term. Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 units lead up the Thematic Unit. The units studied from Autumn Term 1 to Summer Term 1 are aimed to equip pupils with information from Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Humanism, Sikhism, Hinduism and Buddhism to support them in the Thematic Unit.

Impact
It is our aim that pupils are:
- Confident ~ in understanding that there are different world views and that opinions, beliefs and values are interrelated with the world view that each person holds. Pupils will feel confident in their own world view.
- Valued ~ pupils will value and respect the different world views that people hold and know that their world view should also be valued.
- Prepared ~ pupils will be informed and equipped to go out into the world and live amongst people with different world views.
- Successful ~ pupils will be successful in their relationships with other people who hold various world views.
The Surrey Agreed Syllabus Curriculum Aim is to enable pupils to:
- Demonstrate an appreciation of the nature of worldviews and the important contribution of religion and belief, spiritual insights and values to the individual’s search for meaning in life.
- Recognise that someone’s worldview, including their own, can be influenced by many factors and is an intrinsic part of how they view the world.
- Develop knowledge and understanding of Christianity, and of the other principal religions and beliefs represented in Great Britain, through their history, contemporary diverse expressions and encountering peoples’ lived experience.
- Develop interest in and enthusiasm for the study of worldviews and enhance their own spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
- Develop the ability to make reasoned, informed and creative responses to religious and moral issues.
- Recognise the influence of beliefs, values and traditions on the individual, on culture and on communities throughout the world.
At Charlwood Village Primary School our Intent for RE is:
- To be equipped with knowledge and understanding of a range of religions and world views.
- To enable pupils to flourish as citizens in a pluralistic and global community.
- To understand own worldview and work out how that affects your view of the world.
- To promote spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
- To enable pupils to explore the meaning of their existence and their purpose in life.

Withdrawal from RE Lessons:
We would encourage all of our pupils to engage in RE lessons. We would always want to meet with parents to explore their reasons for wanting to withdraw their child from such an important subject. It is important to clarify that there is only a parental right to withdraw from the RE curriculum and not from any other subject curriculums.
