The following six attitudes are central in the Northamptonshire Agreed Syllabus, and are essential for good learning in Religious Education. They should be developed at each stage or phase of Religious Education: Self-awareness; Respect for all; Open-minded questioning; Critical awareness; Commitment; Curiosity, appreciation and wonder




Across the school, all year groups will cover all Religions.
