RE is like a Tardis. Despite the small space it occupies in the curriculum, it is huge; encompassing nothing less than humanity's most searching questions, its deepest hopes, the history of the world's beliefs and their diverse manifestation in the modern world. National Association of Teachers of Religious Education (NATRE)

Lincoln Carlton Academy is a vibrant tapestry of cultures and perspectives and we are driven by our mission to create a haven where everyone flourishes.

As an academy, we have the freedom to choose the RE syllabus we feel best meets the needs of our school. Since September 2024, we have been using the Primary RE Curriculum by NATRE (National Association of Teachers of Religious Education). The curriculum reflects the Christian traditions of Great Britain whilst also covering other principal religions and non-religious world views. 

We believe the learning that takes place in RE lessons is more than just learning facts about individual religions. RE makes a valuable contribution in preparing our pupils for life in modern Britain. Knowledge of the main religions (including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Judaism) gives understanding of people’s faiths and beliefs which cultivates respect and tolerance. RE also develops children’s skills in questioning and allows them to develop reflective skills. We are proud to be a multicultural city school with over 25 countries represented in our school family. RE lessons are brought to life when children hear from their peers about their experiences of beliefs and traditions in their daily lives. 

Religious Education encourages children to think deeply and ask BIG QUESTIONS about life, belief and meaning. Through discussion, enquiry and reflection, pupils are supported to think critically, explore different viewpoints and develop their own ideas. RE helps children learn how to ask thoughtful questions, consider evidence and opinions, and search for answers in a respectful and open-minded way.
