Section 1 - Curriculum Planning
Religious Education for the Foundation Stage
The Foundation Stage begins when a child is three and continues to the end
of Reception Year. Religious Education is not a statutory requirement until
children are in the Reception Year but it can provide stimulating and relevant
learning experiences for all young children, as well as laying firm foundations
for work in Key Stage 1.
During the Foundation Stage children begin to explore the world of religion
in terms of special people, books, times, places and objects, and by visiting
places of worship. Children listen to and talk about religious stories. They
are introduced to specialist words and use their senses in exploring religious
beliefs, practices and forms of expression. They reflect on their own
feelings and experiences. They use their imagination and curiosity to develop
their appreciation of, and wonder at, the world in which they live.
