Ethos & Values

"One school, one community"

Be kind Be fair Be safe Be ready to learn

RE is a subject that celebrates diversity and provides an opportunity to celebrate and foster an awareness of our differences in our school and in the wider world. The national curriculum for Religious Education actively promotes the values of truth, justice, respect for all and care of the environment. It places specific emphasis on; Pupils valuing themselves and others; The role of family and the community in religious belief and activity; The celebration of diversity in society through understanding similarities and differences; Sustainable development of the earth and care for creation. Aspects of Christianity are part of pupils’ learning in each year group, developing the learning progressively. Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism and Humanism are also covered. Children are encouraged to question their own thoughts and experiences as well as of those around them. In addition to RE, collective worship takes place at Butts Primary through celebration/achievement assemblies and Dojo-based School Community Awards.
