Ethos & Values

Achievement Bravery Compassion

At Hawes Down, our lessons follow a progression allowing children to explore and learn about a variety of religious practices, beliefs and traditions in the six major religions (Christianity, Sikhism, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism and Hinduism). As they journey through the school, each child develops their knowledge though a range of experiences with a focus on oracy particularly discussing a focus question each lesson. We teach a diverse curriculum covering many different festivals and celebrations to include all families within the school community. To raise the profile of religion, culture and knowledge we have guest speakers visit our assemblies sharing a variety of faiths. Implementation details include a structured approach to RE with opportunities to discuss big questions and to withdraw if desired under UK law.
