Curriculum Intention statement

Here at the Scarborough UTC we believe that the teaching of Religious Education is an exciting and fundamental subject to give our students deep knowledge of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, not excluding humanism and atheism. Our curriculum design is based on the DFE guidelines of 2021 and the recent Ofsted Research Review, therefore students will benefit from a broad and balanced curriculum that is appropriately sequenced to ensure secure core knowledge as well as the skills. Students will have the ability to respond to philosophical and ethical questions using a range of “ways of knowing” (Ofsted Research Review) which includes studying religions through multiple disciplines such as a historical and  literary lens. Consequently, students will be able to articulate informed arguments using reasoning skills and evidence in both written essays and verbal presentations. The teaching of R.E. in Year 9 will lead to an opportunity for half a G.C.S.E by completing the R.E. Short Course that begins in Year 10.
