The Religious Education Programme:
Religious Education is taught using the ‘Come and See’ programme, covering nine distinct topics over the year. Whilst the theme behind the topic is the same for all the children, the topics are different for each year group – allowing the children to explore new aspects of the same theme. Each year we also study other faiths including Judaism, Islam and Hinduism.
‘Come and See’ is an invitation to exploration and a promise of life for everyone. The curriculum is designed to allow children to explore, unveil, and respond to Church teachings and Scripture in a manner tailored to their age group.
The primary goal of ‘Come and See’ is to stimulate curiosity and provide children with the tools to reflect on their own experiences. By prompting questions about meaning and purpose, the curriculum encourages critical thinking and self-reflection. It aims to cultivate an appreciation for the beliefs, values, and way of life within the Catholic traditions and other faiths.Â
Ultimately, ‘Come and See’ seeks to offer children a profound sense of self-worth by fostering a connection to the larger family community of Our Lady’s Bishop Eton School. Through this educational journey, children not only discover the wonders within and beyond themselves but also develop a deep understanding and appreciation for diverse perspectives and traditions.Â
