Religious Education

At Old Hall Primary School, children are taught to understand and respect the importance of religious beliefs in the world around them.  We follow the Bury Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education which encourages children to use and develop their skills in RE and to participate in critical thinking. We aim to ensure that the RE curriculum is challenging, dynamic and relevant to pupils of all ages.

​

Aims

• encourages pupils to explore their own beliefs

• enables pupils to build their sense of identity and belonging

• teaches pupils to develop respect for others, including people with different faiths and beliefs

• prompts pupils to consider their responsibilities

Trip to The synagogue!

Over autumn term, Year 3 have been learning about Jews. We have looked at where it all began, how they worship and their main beliefs. To consolidate this learning, we went on a trip to The synagogue 'Whitefield Hebrew Congregation'. It was a lot of fun.
