Religious Education is at the core of all that we teach at St Theresa’s. Religious Education (RE) aims to nurture the spiritual, moral, and intellectual development of every child. Its purpose is to help pupils explore the Catholic faith, understand God’s presence in their lives, and develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. RE also encourages children to learn about other world faiths, promoting respect, empathy, and understanding of diverse beliefs and cultures. Through engaging and age-appropriate learning experiences, pupils are supported to grow in faith, develop a sense of responsibility and compassion, and apply Gospel values in their daily lives. We intend for our children to leave our school with a secure knowledge of Catholic teaching, a broad awareness of other religions, a deepened spiritual understanding, and the ability to live out their faith confidently and thoughtfully in the wider world.

In Reception - Year Four, the curriculum is based on the Religious Education Directory 'To Know You More Clearly'. 

In Years Five and Six, the curriculum is based on the 'Come and See' Scheme of Work (which is a Catholic Primary Religious Education programme) with a view for both classes to be teaching from the Religious Education Directory by the end of the 2025-26 academic year, as recommended by the Liverpool Archdiocese of which we are a part of. 

Religious Education in all Catholic schools must be taught for 10% of the timetable, as set out in guidance from the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales. In EYFS and Key Stage 1 this equates to 2 hours and 10minutes per week and increases to 2 hours and 30 minutes in Key Stage 2.
