Welcome to our RE (Religious Education) and World Views page! At Chesterfield, we believe it's incredibly important for children to understand the diverse tapestry of beliefs, cultures, and traditions that make up our world.

Our RE and World Views curriculum provides a rich opportunity for pupils to learn about and learn from a variety of religious and non-religious world views. Through engaging enquiries and thoughtful discussions, children explore:

• Major religions: Including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Judaism.
• Non-religious world views: Such as Humanism, exploring how people make sense of life without religious belief.
• Key concepts: Such as celebration, pilgrimage, sacred texts and the impact of beliefs on daily life.

We encourage children to ask big questions, reflect on their own beliefs and values, and develop respect and empathy for those with different perspectives. Our aim is to foster an understanding of our shared humanity and the richness that diversity brings to our society.

At Chesterfield, Religious Education and World Views provides an inclusive, broad and balanced exploration of diverse faiths and world views, fostering respect, empathy and critical thinking. In accordance with statutory guidance, parents retain the right to withdraw their child from all or part of RE lessons and collective worship; any parents wishing to discuss this are invited to contact the Headteacher.
