At Wethersfield we follow the Essex Agreed RE syllabus

 exploRE 2015.

" Religion and beliefs inform our values and are reflected in what we say and how we behave. RE is an important subject in itself, developing an individual's knowledge and understanding of the religions and beliefs which form part of contemporary society."

Religious Education in English Schools:2010 (from exploRE 2015)

 

The current Essex Agreed Syllabus for religious education 'exploRE' March 2015, (please click on this link for details of what is taught in each year group, via the rolling programme of topics below) remains in place for the academic year 2020 to 2021 as agreed by SACRE (March 2020).  Preparations for the adoption of a new Local Agreed Syllabus will begin during 2021 with the intention that 2021 to 2022 will be a year of implementation with full adoption from September 2022.​
