Religious Education at Elms Farm School

RE at our school is led by Miss Morton.

' Watching students grow in curiosity, compassion, and confidence through RE is what makes this subject so powerful and rewarding to teach.'

Our Approach to Religious Education

At Elms Farm, we follow the Birmingham SACRE approach to Religious Education, which is rooted in the exploration of shared human values and lived experiences. This pedagogy encourages pupils to engage with a wide range of religious and non-religious worldviews through 24 key dispositions, such as “Being Thankful,” “Being Curious,” and “Living by Rules.” These dispositions help children reflect on their own beliefs and values while developing respect and understanding for others. Our RE curriculum is inclusive, reflective, and designed to nurture thoughtful, compassionate, and informed individuals.

Here are some examples of our work. We use a learning journey so that we can build upon what we have learnt about in each disposition.
