Religious Education
___________________________________________________________________
"Education is not about knowing things or taking lessons but about being able to use three lingos: those of the head, the heart, and the hands... learning so that you can think about what you feel and do, can feel what you think and do, and can do what you feel and think.
Unity within a person." – Pope Francis

Here at St Michael’s Catholic Primary School, we strive to ensure that the school is Christ centred. It is a community of faith that seeks to promote the Gospel, that has concern for the whole child and where our pupils can learn, grow and develop.
Our Vision of Faith, Action, Success, encompasses strong links between Parish, home and school.

To Know You More Clearly
At St Michaels RC Primary, We are beginning our journey to follow the new Religious Education Directory and its program "To Know You More Clearly". Throughout 2023-24, we began to explore the new RED in EYFS and Year 2.
During the academic year 2024-2025, we aim to roll out our new RE Curriculum throughout all classes from EYFS - Year 6 using Margaret Carswell's, "In God's Name" alongside the RED to guide us.
It is an innovative and enriching new Religious Education program that seeks to deepen the spiritual journey of students by fostering a profound understanding of Catholic teachings and values.
This program goes beyond the traditional curriculum, encouraging students to explore their faith through a lens of curiosity and introspection. Through engaging lessons, thoughtful reflections, and interactive activities, "To Know You More Clearly" creates a dynamic learning environment that encourages students to connect with their spirituality on a personal level.
This program not only imparts knowledge but also cultivates a genuine and enduring relationship with God, contributing to the overall spiritual development of the students. Scripture is the foundation of each Branch and will develop knowledge, understanding, skills, compassion and awe and wonder across the curriculum.
