Religious Education at Fairmeadows Primary School

At Fairmeadows Primary School, we are committed to delivering a rich and inclusive Religious Education (RE) curriculum that reflects the values of our community and meets the expectations of the Derbyshire Agreed Syllabus.

We teach RE through the Kapow Primary Curriculum, a comprehensive and engaging program that supports children in exploring a wide range of religions, beliefs, and worldviews. Kapow provides a structured approach that encourages pupils to think critically, develop empathy, and understand the diverse perspectives that shape our world.

Our RE lessons are thoughtfully planned to:

• Promote respect and tolerance for others.
• Foster spiritual development and personal reflection.
• Encourage discussion and enquiry-based learning.
• Integrate with other areas of the curriculum where appropriate.

Using Kapow’s interactive resources and activities, pupils engage with key themes such as identity, belonging, celebrations, and moral choices. This helps them build a deeper understanding of both their own beliefs and those of others.

By aligning our teaching with the Derbyshire Agreed Syllabus, we ensure that our RE provision is locally relevant, academically rigorous, and supportive of wider goals such as social cohesion and mutual respect.

At Fairmeadows, Religious Education is not just a subject—it’s a vital part of nurturing thoughtful, compassionate, and well-rounded individuals.
