Our Religious Education curriculum follows a locally agreed syllabus called ‘Living Difference’.

At Harefield, we aim to promote the spiritual wellbeing of every child. We provide our pupils with
the essential skills and knowledge they need to become respectful and tolerant of those with
different faiths and beliefs. This supports our ethos as a Rights Respecting School by enabling our children to respect their, and others, right to think and believe what they want (Articles 12 and 14).

We follow a concept-based curriculum where our pupils will have the opportunity to respond to a variety of concepts that are common to all people, shared by many religions and often distinctive to particular religions.

We follow a cycle of enquiry by which we recognise and value the pupil’s own experiences and views, allowing them
to enquire, contextualize and evaluate concepts. As a school, we will also take into account when teaching the religious backgrounds represented by our children. We also promote the fundamental British value of democracy.
