Religious Education

Curriculum Statement

To Know You More Clearly and Come and See

At St. Patrick's Primary School, we participate in the Church’s universal educational mission to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. All staff ensure that Religious Education is at the heart of our curriculum and aim to create religiously literate and engaged young people who have the knowledge, understanding, and skills – appropriate to their age and ability – to reflect spiritually, and think ethically and theologically, and who recognise the demands of religious commitment in everyday life (RED 2023).

Our new programme of study, To Know You More Clearly, has been approved by the Bishops’ Conference for the various age groups within our school. This framework will be progressively rolled out across our school and will replace the Come and See programme by 2025. Currently EYFS and Year 1 have implemented To Know You More Clearly. Years 2-6 still use Come and See. We will continue to follow the guidance and direction provided by the Liverpool Archdiocese in regards to our RE Curriculum.

At St. Patrick's, we are proud of our strong links to the Church and we work closely with Fr. John, our parish priest at St. Patrick's and St. Marie's. We endeavour to make our school a place where God's love for us is shared and nurtured. A place where the teachings of Christ can be seen as relevant and active within each individual’s experience ensuring our children leave us with not only a sound understanding of the word of God, but a sound understanding of how to live out the Gospel values through their thoughts, words and actions.

Our School Prayer

Jesus, Mary and Joseph,

Make our school a happy school and a Holy one;

Lord, bless our school,

So that by working together, playing together and praying together;

We may learn to love one another,

and to serve You.

Amen
