RE
Barnet is one of the most religiously diverse boroughs in England and this diversity provides a rich heritage which enables children to learn from each other.
Our school mirrors the borough's diversity and our religious education is reflective of this.
At Deansbrook, children are taught to understand and respect all diverse faiths and religions practised around the world. Our curriculum is designed so that children learn, in some depth, about four of the six major world religions over their time in KS2. Parents have the right to withdraw consent for Religious Education. Please contact the office if you are considering this option.
There are opportunities for children to visit places of worship and for visitors representing various religions to be invited in to share their knowledge and their values and beliefs.
The following topics are studied throughout the Key Stage:
Year 3 - Introduction to Judaism - Christianity: Teachings and Action - Islam: Visual Art
Year 4 - Introduction to Sikhism - Christianity: Art and Stories - Islam: Teachings and Action
Year 5 - Introduction to Hinduism - Ethics, Christianity and War - Islam and Social Action
Year 6 - Christianity- Religion around the world - Introduction to Buddhism
