At our school, Religious Education (RE) plays a vital role in helping children explore and understand a diverse range of beliefs, values, and worldviews. We follow the Kapow Primary RE scheme, a comprehensive and engaging programme designed to support weekly RE teaching across EYFS, Key Stage 1, and Key Stage 2.

The Kapow scheme is built around a spiral curriculum, ensuring that pupils revisit and deepen their understanding of key concepts year after year. It aligns with the National Curriculum and provides a clear progression of substantive, personal, and disciplinary knowledge:

• Substantive knowledge: Learning about major world religions and worldviews, exploring key religious concepts, and identifying similarities and differences.

• Personal knowledge: Encouraging children to reflect on their own beliefs, values, and ideas about life’s meaning and purpose.

• Disciplinary knowledge: Developing skills to investigate and understand religions and worldviews through observation, discussion, and critical thinking.

This well-structured approach helps teachers deliver high-quality RE lessons with confidence, while also supporting assessment and long-term planning. For a detailed breakdown of the curriculum, progression maps, and guidance, please refer to the Kapow Primary RE Scheme PDF.

Progression

At Little Heath Primary School, we prioritise the development of vocabulary  as part of our commitment to supporting every child's learning journey. We understand that building a rich vocabulary is key to academic success and communication. Our curriculum is designed to ensure steady progression, helping students expand their vocabulary, improve language skills, and apply them. Below, you will find the relevant documents that outline our approach to vocabulary development and skills progression within RE.
