We will be doing maintenance to our website systems on Sunday, 31 January. Despite the ongoing situation with Covid-19 it is essential that we maintain the security of our systems. This will help us continue to deliver vital public health messages and information about council services via our website and allow you all to access our services using online forms. The work should be done with little disruption to you and any interruption should be short. If you do have problems accessing the site or something doesn’t work on Sunday, please try again later.
Bradford SACRE provides schools with a locally agreed RE Syllabus, Believing and Belonging in West Yorkshire. The same syllabus is used in Leeds, Kirklees and Calderdale.
The new syllabus is now ready for roll out to schools ahead of its launch in September 2024 and can be found by clicking on the title above (Believing and Belonging). The syllabus is designed around developing understanding of six learning pathways. These have been inspired by ‘The Big Ideas in RE’ and act as the framework for sequencing learning in religion and worldviews at all key stages from age 5 to 18. While organising the curriculum along these pathways, learners concurrently develop substantive knowledge of specific religions/worldviews. The syllabus recommends pupils study a series of core and focus units of work to understand the six learning pathways at each key stage.
Religious Education must be taught to all pupils from ages 5 to 18 in all schools and academies. Maintained and voluntary controlled schools must use the locally agreed syllabus. As this syllabus has been designed to meet local needs it is also suitable for Academies in the Bradford District, whom we encourage to make use of it to fulfil their statutory obligations.
To support the syllabus there is a suite of detailed planning for each of the core and focus units of work. The units of work can be purchased by schools through a one-off subscription to Kirklees Business Solutions. The cost of this is £220. This will allow access to the 60+ units of work for the five years of the syllabus. For more information about how to subscribe and access the planning folder please contact Kirklees Business Solutions on Business.Solutions@kirklees.gov.uk
In addition to the units of work we are lesson resources are being prepared including adaptable powerpoints and knowledge organisers. The lesson resources will be available in three tranches from September 24. The cost of this will be £280 which again is a one-off subscription. To subscribe to the lesson resources please contact enquiries@penninelearning.com
