Religious Education
As a Church of England school, the teaching of Religious Education at Bryn St Peter's is central to our curriculum. The 1988 Education Act states that 'Religious Education has equal standing in relation to core subjects of the National Curriculum in that it is compulsory for all registered pupils'.
Intent
Our R.E. curriculum has been designed with the intention of enabling every child to flourish. Good quality R.E. has the potential to have the most powerful and lasting effect on a child’s heart and mind. It is a subject that combines academic skills with the development of character and spirit. R.E. provides opportunities for spiritual development and personal reflection. It provokes challenging questions about meaning and purpose, truth and values, identity and belonging.

Pilgrimage
Year 6 have been learning about pilgrimages, the journey's that believers make to ehance their beliefs. Imran came to talk to us about the Muslim pilgrimage of Hajj.
Confirmation
As part of their RE lessons, Year 6 have been learning about how to prepare for confirmation. Confirmation is a life event that sees those who have been baptised as a baby, confirm their faith in God. Some of our Year 6 children chose to be confirmed after completing all of the lessons.
Here is Harrison with the Bishop of Warrington.
God and the Big Bang
Year 5 and Year 6 got the opportunity to explore faith and science and whether the two would ever agree!

Mr Lycett came in to school to take us for a 'Walk Through The Bible'. We were reminded of lots of characters in the Old Testament and the timeline of events leading to the Birth of Jesus. |
Year 6 had a visit from Imran who came to talk about the Muslim pilgrimage of Hajj. We understand that people of faith have different reasons for going on a piligrimage. |
