Religious Education

 

At Alumwell Junior, we are proud to have such an amazing diversity in our school and local community. It is this diversity that drives our 'mirrors or windows' approach to our Religious Education studies.

 

When a child is familiar with a religion we will liken their approach

to be 'looking in a mirror'. The pupil will be looked upon to share their own knowledge and experience with others because of already experiencing it themselves.

 

Whereas, for those students who a certain religion is new to them, their approach will be likened to  'looking through a window' and will learn through what they are taught through discussion and other pupil's experiences and knowledge.
