  • Statement of Entitlement

    The Locally Agreed Syllabus states the minimum number of hours per year are:

    Key Stage

    What to Teach

    Entitlement

    EYFS Christianity and a range of other religions and world views. 30 Hours
    KS1 Christianity.
    At least two or more of the other major religions and world views that may be reflected in your school community and relevant to the experience of the pupils.
    Minimum 36 hours
    KS2 Christianity
    Five other world religions, humanism and an acknowledgement of other world views.
    Minimum of 45 hours

    However, the ‘Statement of Entitlement’ states that in Church Schools, RE ‘should aim to be close to 10% curriculum time but must be no less than 5% in key stages 1-4’ page 3. So, in addition to this minimum requirement outlined above, Church Schools - like St Paul's - increase the number of RE hours close to 10%. This might be through:

    • Enrichment days
    • Bible Stories
    • The Study of Religious Festivals
    • Trips & Visits
    • Extended RE lessons.
