Religious Education is a fundamental part of our school life and is taught as a core subject. We ensure that each class fulfils the Diocesan recommendation of 10% teaching time and we follow the Bishop’s chosen programme ‘The Vine and The Branches‘ in a creative way.
RE is so much more than just lessons in a classroom at OLOP as our faith permeates everything that we do
The programme is divided into six branches taught over the year:
Autumn 1 – Creation and Covenant
Autumn 2 – Prophecy and Promise
Spring 1 – Galilee to Jerusalem
Spring 2 – Desert to Garden
Summer 1 – To the Ends of the Earth
Summer 2 – Dialogue and Encounter
Each unit begins with script and the whole scheme is based around listening to and becoming familiar with the Word of God.
