Religious Education
Intent
We aim to engage and challenge our pupils through enquiry based learning activities, authentic religious materials and a balance of theology, philosophy and human and social sciences. This will enable our children to be religiously literate and to be able to hold balanced and well informed conversations about religions and beliefs whilst reflecting on their own experiences and spiritual development.
Religious Education at Stickney C of E Primary School.
At Stickney C of E Primary School we follow the Lincolnshire Locally Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education. We use the scheme 'Understanding Christianity' and planning resources developed by the Diocese of Lincoln to deliver religious education lessons across the school.

We acknowledge the right of parents/guardians to withdraw their children from RE lessons and of teachers to withdraw from teaching the subject. We acknowledge that parents/guardians/teachers do not need to provide a reason why they wish to withdraw from the subject. Should a parent/guardian wish to withdraw their child from RE lessons or a teacher wish to refuse to teach RE, we ask that they inform the school via stickney.enquiries@stickney-newleake.co.uk.
We will endeavour to communicate clearly the place of RE within a broad and balanced curriculum to ensure that parents are in possession of all the necessary information. However, should a parent/guardian request that their child be withdrawn from RE, we will not attempt to persuade them to alter their decision. If a pupil is withdrawn from RE lessons, the school is required to provide supervision, but should not incur any additional cost in so doing.
Any queries regarding withdrawal from RE should be directed to the RE Subject Leader in the first instance, and thereafter to the head teacher.
