RE at St Mabyn enables every child to flourish and live "life in all its fullness" (John 10:10). We plan our RE using the Cornwall Agreed Syllabus 2025 -2030, RE Today and Understanding Christianity. Our teaching reflects a "religion and worldviews" approach. This is achieved through three disciplinary lenses, or "Ways of Knowing":
Theology (Looking at Beliefs): Exploring the "text" and the core concepts of faith.
Philosophy (Thinking about Thinking): Asking "why" and exploring the nature of knowledge, morality, and existence.
Human/Social Sciences (Looking at Lived Experience): Investigating how people live out their beliefs in the world today.
There are opportunities for planned moments to discuss spirituality, and we are delighted when children's enthusiasm leads to spontaneous moments to develop their understanding of spirituality.
