The Religious Education and Worldview curriculum at Northlew and Ashbury C of E Primary school is an important part of our curriculum designed so that children are able to gain an understanding about a variety of beliefs. The children are taught about a range of beliefs and are encouraged to think deeply, reflect and discuss and question their understanding of beliefs and values. The idea behind this learning is for the children to get a deep understanding of some of the beliefs and traditions which are followed, not only within Britain but worldwide and can develop an understanding of how beliefs and traditions may vary depending on cultures enabling them to live in a multi-cultural society with a good understanding of beliefs and to also empower them to show respect to the range of beliefs. The curriculum we follow is the Devon Agreed Syllabus. To enhance this teaching Understanding Christianity is used. 

The national curriculum for Religious Education aims to ensure that all pupils: 
• develop knowledge and understanding of Christianity and other principal religious traditions represented in Great Britain; 
• develop understanding of the ways in which beliefs influence people in their behaviour, practices and in their communities; 
• reflect on, deepen and clarify their own experiences, values and beliefs and those of others; 
• develop awareness of fundamental questions about life arising from human experience and how religious beliefs and practices can relate to them; 
• recognise the right of people to hold diverse beliefs and values and to develop positive attitudes of respect towards other people; 
• benefit from opportunities to enhance their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. 
 
At Northlew and Ashbury C of E Primary school, RE is taught as an engaging, inclusive and enquiry-led subject, open to all and at the centre of the curriculum, and we would hope that all parents would understand the value of this for all children. However, parents do have a right by law to withdraw their children from Religious Education and World View lessons. In this event, we will undertake responsibility for their supervision with regard to health and safety. The school follows the guidance offered by the Diocese of Exeter and we always encourage parents to discuss the curriculum with staff before making a final decision. Requests for full or partial withdrawal need to be made to the principal in writing.  
Collective Worship and the Law
In accordance with legal requirements (School Standards and Framework Act 1998) an act of collective worship, taking into account of the age, aptitude and background of the pupils, is provided daily for all pupils except those withdrawn by parents. The school expects that withdrawal will be only made following discussions with the Principal, followed by written confirmation of withdrawal. Special arrangements will be made to supervise children withdrawn from acts of worship. In addition, staff have the right to withdraw from the act of collective worship.
“The arrangements for the required collective worship may, in respect of each school day, provide for a single act of worship for all pupils or for separate acts of worship for pupils in different age groups or in different school groups.”
The School Standards and Framework Act 1998 

Inclusion

The school seeks to challenge the more able pupils and support pupils with additional needs. All pupils will be appropriately challenged and engaged in their learning regardless of race, ability, sex, religion or belief.
