At Deer Park, we follow the local authority agreed syllabus for Derby and Derbyshire (as stipulated in the National Curriculum): Derbyshire Agreed Syllabus for 2025-30. Religious study ensures broad and equal coverage across our curriculum from EYFS to Year 6.
R.E (Religious Education) is taught as a discrete subject on a 2-year cycle (see curriculum documents). Teachers block RE teaching but it is equaliveenlt to a weekly lesson, over the course of a half term.
Different approaches are used within lessons to ensure that all pupils are provided with equal opportunities to access core learning within this subject area. The curriculum is successfully adapted, designed or developed to be ambitious and meets the needs of pupils with SEND, developing their knowledge, skills and abilities to apply what they know and can do with increasing fluency and independence.
In EYFS, the children will encounter Christianity and other faiths, as part of their growing sense of self, their own community and their place within it, as stipulated in the 'Understanding the World' section of the EYFS Framework of statutory requirements.
This knowledge will be built upon in Key Stage 1, deepening learning about Christian, Muslim and Jewish faiths.
In Key Stage 2, children will further their knowledge about Christian, Muslim and Jewish faiths, and be introduced to Hindu Dharma, and Humanist beliefs as well as non-religious world views.
Derbyshire's Agreed syllabus requires that all pupils study Christianity in each key stage. Furthermore, non-religious worldviews, including ‘organised’ examples such as Humanism, will also be the focus for study.
Each year, children in EYFS and Key Stage 1 will take part in a Nativity play. Key stage 2 children perform a carol concert in a local church.
In Year 3/4 chidlren viist the Muli-Faith Centre in Derby City which also offers opportunities to further and deepen learning and knowledge in this subject; enabling pupils to make connections in their day-to-day knowledge of their local and global communities.

the right to withdraw
In the UK, parents still have the right to withdraw their children from RE on the grounds that they wish to provide their own RE. This provision will be the parents’ responsibility. This right of withdrawal exists for all pupils in all types of school, including schools with and without a religious designation.
