Religion and Worldviews
At Castle Hill, the Religion & Worldviews curriculum is an inclusive approach that allows learners to explore a range of beliefs and the impact of these on individuals’ lives. It supports an inclusive understanding of beliefs, fosters children’s critical thinking and a respect for diverse perspectives and backgrounds. Pupils learn about practices, traditions, rituals, and theologies through multiple lenses. Our curriculum at Castle Hill encourages children to dig deeper by teaching about diversity and celebrating it. We also provide opportunities to help challenge stereotypes and preconceptions, whilst exploring non-religious worldviews to ensure all children are able to relate their learning to their own values and beliefs.
Religion and Worldviews at Castle Hill aims to promote religious understanding and respect, and to challenge prejudice, discrimination and stereotyping. We actively seek to provide opportunities for our pupils to develop their self-awareness, their respect and understanding for all, open-mindedness and appreciation and wonder.
