Welcome to RE at The Polygon - Autumn Concepts

The aim of Religious Education is to develop pupils as respectful learners. Pupils will learn to understand and respect different religions, beliefs, values and understand their influence on individuals, communities, and cultures. Pupils will develop their sense of identity and belonging, preparing them for adult life as citizens in a diverse society.

KS3 Religious Education at The Polygon School follows the Locally Agreed Syllabus, ‘Living Difference’. This syllabus is based upon understanding and responding to the key concepts within the major Religious traditions and non-religious beliefs represented in Great Britain.

Religious Studies uses a cycle of enquiry that develops students’ skills at each stage of the process:

* Communicate

* Apply

* Enquire

* Contextualise

* Evaluate

During the Autumn term pupils will be studying the following concepts:

Year 7 - Identity

Year 8 - Stewardship

Year 9 - Justice and Punishment


Below are a few photos to celebrate the fantastic work pupils have completed in Autumn 1. Well done everyone!
