Religion

"There is an overwhelming sense of belonging, one parent commented, “'We are just one big happy family here'."

"Religious education is at the core of everything that happens at Christ the King and is visible in every room in the school."

Our Religious Education Curriculum

At Christ the King RC Primary School, Religious Education (RE) is a vital part of our curriculum, reflecting our commitment to nurturing the spiritual and moral development of every pupil. We follow the Religious Education Directory (RED), ensuring that our RE provision is both comprehensive and rooted in the teachings of the Catholic faith.

Our chosen scheme, Source to Summit: Lighting the Path, developed by Oxford University Press, guides our pupils on a meaningful journey through key aspects of Catholicism and the wider Christian tradition. This carefully sequenced curriculum supports children in deepening their understanding of faith, scripture, and the sacraments while fostering respect and appreciation for other religious traditions and worldviews.

Through RE, our pupils explore the Word of Our Lord, Gospel values, and the importance of prayer and forgiveness. They are encouraged to reflect on their own beliefs and develop a compassionate and inclusive outlook, preparing them to be thoughtful, faith-filled members of both the school community and wider society.

Other faiths

As well as learning about the Catholic faith, we believe it is important for children to explore the beliefs, values and traditions of other religions. To enrich children’s understanding of other faiths, we regularly embark on school trips and host guest speakers.

Recently, Year 6 enjoyed touring the Synagogue and gained fascinating insights into the traditions of Judaism. Manchester Central Mosque also extended a warm welcome to us, and the children learned lots of information on their trip.

We have also enjoyed a visit from Mr. Ali, who spoke to us about his beliefs and the traditions of Islam. It was very interesting and informative. Thank you Mr. Ali!
