Religions & Ethics at Pilton

Our R.E. curriculum aims to engage students in a five-year learning journey of knowledge and understanding religions and ethics. We aim to set students up to succeed by making clear from the start our learning objectives, expectations and the reasoning for them.

We teach our students to enquire and learn in an interactive way, using low-stake quizzing, feedback, collaboration and student-centred resources to close knowledge gaps from KS2. By building opportunities for extended writing into our units, we monitor students' subject-specific vocabulary and  embed literacy and reading into every lesson, thereby improving literacy skills and subject vocabulary. We build time into lessons for students to reflect on their learning and their own world view and we use big questions to build on students’ current knowledge and understanding of world issues and the varying views surrounding them. 

• We aim to promote British values and to embed kindness and empathy. 
• We aim for our curriculum to be rich in more than just knowledge.  
• We aim for learning to take place through art and music.

• We aim for our RE curriculum to give our students the tools, knowledge and confidence to carry on their learning journey throughout their time at Pilton Community College.
