To Know You More Clearly

EYFS TO YEAR THREE

From September 2023, to fulfil our aims and objectives we will use the ‘To Know You More Clearly’ programme from the new Religious Education Directory prescribed by the Archdiocese of Liverpool. This programme is currently optional but will be compulsory for all year groups from September 2025. We have chosen to start the programme as it is rolled out by the Archdiocese of Liverpool for each year group.

The dates for the role out of the new RED Curriculum are as follows: Spring 2024 for EYFS and Year 1, Summer 2024 Year 2, Autumn 2024 for Year 3

RE Curriculum

Learning in RE is at the core of the curriculum and we ensure that the Archbishop’s directive is followed in allocating 10% of curriculum time to RE lessons. The Governing Body, led by the Chair provide support and commitment to the central place of RE in the school.

We believe that we share the role of educators of the faith with the parents and we strive to keep them fully informed of what their child is learning at school and to support them in what they can do at home to further their child’s understanding of their faith. Parents are welcomed to Prayer and Litugy, Masses and other liturgies throughout the year.

The school follows the curriculum scheme of Come and See and years EYFS - Year 3 are following the new RED to ensure planning, coverage and provision are balanced and accurate across the whole school.
