Curriculum Intent
The principal aim of Religious Education at Wixams Academy is to explore what people believe and what difference this makes to how they live, so that pupils can gain the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to handle questions raised by religion and belief, reflecting on their own ideas and ways of living. We want to inspire students to engage with a wide range of topics which may impact them in their future lives. It aims to not only educate pupils about the religious and non-religious worldviews in Britain (and the wider world) but also with key issues which are prevalent in today’s society whilst providing students with a safe space to ask questions about issues that may concern them. We follow the key principles of the Locally Agreed Syllabus and use this as a basis for the majority of our curriculum.
