Hertfordshire Agreed Syllabus of Religious
Education 2012- 2017
Hertfordshire Agreed Syllabus of Religious Education 2012-2017 This Agreed Syllabus of Religious Education (RE) replaces the one published in 2006. This syllabus will, to a considerable extent, build on what is already established and will continue to take RE forward as a key component of the whole curriculum. This syllabus requires that pupils learn about and through religion and that teachers encourage pupils to reflect on their own beliefs and values whilst acknowledging that others may hold beliefs different to their own. The Education Act 1996 requires that all locally agreed syllabuses of RE are reviewed every five years. This review in Hertfordshire has been greatly informed by teachers and by representatives from faith communities within the county. Through the consultation process and the Agreed Syllabus Conference (ASC), many people have given generously of their time and expertise to review and develop the Hertfordshire �yllabus for 2012 - 2017. Together they have considered the last syllabus, the views of Hertfordshire teachers, national advice �� the national non-statutory Framework for Religious Education, as well as recent national and local developments of the whole curriculum. We would like to thank everyone who has been involved from the initial consultation through the detailed work of revising the syllabus to the complex task of refining the final version. It is due to this professionalism, understanding and effort that we can commend this new Agreed Syllabus of Religious Education to you as a good basis for further developing the work of teachers and others concerned with RE in Hertfordshire schools.

Religious Education provokes challenging questions about the ultimate meaning and purpose of life, beliefs about God, the self and the nature of reality, issues of right and wrong and what it means to be human.
The importance of Religious Education
The principal religious traditions focused on in this syllabus are, in accordance with guidance from the DfE, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism. If a school has pupils who are members of other world faiths (e.g. Baha’i or Jain) then it is important in terms of inclusion and valuing of the individual that the school includes aspects of that religion in their RE. Humanism and Atheism are not ‘religions’ but are world views which may be appropriate to mention as part of the RE curriculum.

Statement of Principles
������������ ������������������Religious Education has two closely related aspects: • learning about religion • learning from religion It should encourage all participants to reflect on their own beliefs and values and to acknowledge that others hold beliefs different from their own. ���������������������������������������������Responsibility for the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils runs across the whole school. RE makes a significant contribution, encouraging personal reflection and development in addition to intellectual growth. Religious Education should promote pupils': • spiritual development through recognising and valuing their own spirituality,
reflecting on and questioning their own and others’ life experiences and beliefs, understanding and appreciating the earth and the universe as sources of sustenance and inspiration;
• moral development through understanding moral dilemmas, the difference between right and wrong, consideration and concern for others, recognising personal obligations, making reasoned and informed judgements;
• social development through understanding religious communities and their activities, respecting similarities and differences, being a responsible citizen at local, national and global levels;
• cultural development through developing a sense of belonging to and engaging with local, regional and national cultures, learning how to appreciate difference and diversity, recognising common values which cross cultures, appreciating the impact of the environment on cultural traditions. �
����������������������������� ��������������������������������Religious Education must include the study of the principal world faiths practised in Great Britain, with account being taken of the wide diversity of religious backgrounds pupils bring to schools in Hertfordshire. The Hertfordshire Agreed Syllabus, as required by the Education Act 1996, reflects 'the fact that the religious traditions in Great Britain are in the main Christian whilst taking account of the teaching practices of the other principal religions represented in Great Britain'. Religious Education is also concerned with secular world views but only when they relate to eligious ducation.

In order to meet the statutory requirement of this Agreed Syllabus schools must ensure that pupils have learned about and from: • Christianity at each Key Stage; • the six principal religions through the EYFS and Key Stages 1 and 2; • the six principal religions in greater depth through Key Stages 3 and 4 and
post-16. ���������In planning and teaching Religious Education, teachers are required to have due regard to the statements on inclusion found in the statutory framework for the EYFS and within the Principles into Practice Card 1.2 ‘Inclusive Practice’, in addition to the three main sections set out in the National Curriculum documents. • setting suitable learning challenges • responding to the diverse needs pupils bring to their learning • overcoming potential barriers to learning and assessment for individuals or
groups of pupils By adhering to these principles, teachers will ensure that all pupils have the chance to succeed. ����������������• time allocation for collective worship/assemblies must be separate from that
allocated to Religious Education. • Religious Education must be taught in every year group. • it is a legal requirement for all children on the 'school' register to have
Religious Education. It is not a requirement for children in nursery schools or nursery classes, but the curriculum must promote children's spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
• this syllabus requires a minimum allocation of curriculum time distributed throughout the ey tage for Key Stages 1 and 2. This gives schools the opportunity to be flexible in their approach to planning. For further exemplification of this please see the non-statutory Hertfordshire Scheme of Work for Primary Religious Education.
• at Key Stages 3 and 4 the minimum time allocation is expressed in hours per year. This gives schools the opportunity to deliver a flexible Key Stage 3 / 4 if they so choose.

Teaching the programmes of study should contribute to pupils' knowledge and understanding and provide opportunities for reflection on six key areas: • ��,���������������������-�e.g. stories, religious leaders, books, God/gods,
self-sacrifice, truth, life after death;��• �� ���������������������������!��� - e.g. people, festivals, pilgrimages,
places, events, artefacts, lifestyle choices, actions, effects on individuals;��• ��!������-��������������� - e.g. sacred texts, art, music, literature,
symbolism, poetry, dance, drama, prayer, forms of religious and spiritual expression, silence/stillness;�
�• ��������������!�����������!������-������� - e.g. belonging,
preferences, relationships within family and community, influences on own lives, inspirational people;�
�• ��.�����������������������������- e.g. amazement, sadness,
disappointment, joy, awe, in connection with the natural world and life's journey, making sense, ultimate questions of life raised by life experiences;�
�• /�������������������� - e.g. values, ethics, principles, rules, morality.��In order to meet the statutory requirement of this Agreed Syllabus, schools must ensure that pupils have learned about and from: • Christianity at each Key Stage; • the six principal religions through the EYFS and Key Stages 1 and 2; • the six principal religions in greater depth through Key Stages 3 and 4 and
post-16.��
������������������������������������
The six key areas of Religious Education are reflected in the levels of attainment, which can be used to set learning objectives, generate success criteria and to assess and report attainment.

The legal requirement for Religious
Education
1. The Education Act 1996 requires that the curriculum for every maintained school includes provision for Religious Education for all pupils (of whatever age) at the school. Every area of the curriculum, including RE, must promote the spiritual, moral, social, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils and prepare them for life. The requirement to teach Religious Education does not apply to nursery schools and classes but it does apply to children in reception classes.
2. In Community Schools and Foundation and Voluntary Schools without a
religious character, RE must be provided in accordance with the Hertfordshire Agreed Syllabus. An Agreed Syllabus must 'reflect the fact that the religious traditions in Great Britain are in the main Christian, whilst taking account of the teaching and practices of the other principal religions represented in Great Britain' (The Education Act 1996).
3. An Agreed Syllabus must not require RE to be provided by means of any
catechism, or formula which is distinctive of any particular denomination. 4. It is the responsibility of each Local Authority (LA) to adopt an Agreed
Syllabus. Each LEA must set up a Standing Advisory Council on RE (SACRE) to advise on matters connected with the RE to be given in accordance with the Agreed Syllabus.
5. The Education Act 1993 states that regulations shall provide that, so far as
is practicable, every pupil should receive a religious education. The LA expects all its special schools to provide RE in accordance with this Agreed Syllabus.
6. In Foundation and Voluntary Controlled Schools with a religious character,
the Hertfordshire Agreed Syllabus must be used unless parents request denominational teaching.
7. In Voluntary Aided Schools with a religious character, the required provision
for RE is:
a) according to the trust deed of the school; or b) according to the tenets of the religion or religious denomination
(where provision is not specified in the trust deed); or c) according to the Hertfordshire Agreed Syllabus where parents request
it (if a child cannot reasonably attend a school where the Agreed Syllabus is being taught).
8. All parents have the right to withdraw their children from receiving RE. No
teacher can be required to teach RE if s/he does not wish to do so (DfES Circular 1/94 para 44-49).

11
9. The School Inspections Act 1996 requires inspectors to report on the standards of attainment, progress of pupils and quality of teaching in RE.
10. The Funding Agreements for new Academies stipulate that all academies
are required to teach RE:
• for academies without a religious character, this will be a locally Agreed Syllabus;
• for denominational Academies with a religious character (Church of
England or Roman Catholic – but also Muslim and most Jewish academies), this will be in line with the denominational syllabus [where there is one];
• for non-denominational (such as Christian) faith Academies this can
be either of the above, depending on the wishes of the sponsor and what is agreed by Ministers.
01�2�3���������� ������������������������������������ '4%4 The model Funding Agreement for new Academies (2010) follows this stipulation that RE should be taught in all schools, following a local Agreed Syllabus or denominational syllabus. The law for Free Schools is the same as that for new Academies.

The policy intention is for the model Funding Agreements to broadly reflect the provisions that apply to local authorities and schools in the maintained sector. The Funding Agreement requires that Academies with a religious designation provide religious education in accordance with the tenets of their faith and Academies that do not have a religious designation must arrange for religious education to be given to all pupils in accordance with the requirements for Agreed Syllabuses. In other words, a curriculum which reflects that the religious traditions in Great Britain are, in the main Christian, while taking account of the teaching and practices of the other principal religions represented in Great Britain.

For foundation or voluntary controlled schools with a religious designation that convert to Academies, the intention is that they will arrange for religious education in accordance with the requirements for Agreed Syllabuses, as set out above, unless any parents request that their children receive religious education in accordance with any provisions of the school's trust deed or in accordance with the tenets of the school's faith. If any parents do request this, the Academy must make arrangements for those children to receive such religious education unless, because of special circumstances, it would be unreasonable to do so. The Funding Agreement sets this out.� This Agreed Syllabus has been prepared on the basis of the legal requirements: The Education Act 1996 and The School Standards and Framework Act 1998. It takes account of the guidance issues in Circulars by the Department of Education (which do not have the force of law), the non-statutory Framework for RE and DCSF Guidance on Religious Education in English Schools, 2010.

Using the programmes of study��
The programmes of study are intended to allow maximum flexibility to schools and teachers to devise their own teaching programmes. The approach which schools adopt is a matter for professional discussion, but it is important that pupils are helped to gradually develop a greater understanding of what it means to belong and adhere to particular religious communities. Deciding which religions to cover and when is an important part of the process; it will be essential for some schools to liaise locally. �ubject �eaders may use the non-statutory Hertfordshire Primary Scheme of Work to guide their RE planning. In planning a school's own medium and long-term plans, RE subject leaders will need to gain an overview of all the programmes of study, including those at adjacent ey tages in order to ensure continuity and progression. The planning charts in the Appendix can be used to track coverage of the programmes of study. In order to meet the statutory requirement of this Agreed Syllabus schools must ensure that pupils have learned about and from: • Christianity at each Key Stage; • the six principal religions through the EYFS and Key Stages 1 and 2; • the six principal religions in greater depth through Key Stages 3 and 4 and
post-16. Care should be taken if using published units of work, other than the non-statutory Hertfordshire Primary Scheme of Work for Religious Education, to ensure that all requirements of the Hertfordshire programme of study are met. The programmes of study have been developed to reflect both Attainment Targets. Within such an ethos, planning for 'Learning from' a religion needs to happen at the same time as planning for 'Learning about' religion. It requires specific opportunities for pupils to respond to what they are learning in affective and cognitive ways, and to be able to relate it to their own experience.

Special schools follow the Hertfordshire Agreed Syllabus. It can be modified in a way that is helpful and appropriate for meeting individual pupils’ needs. This could mean using programmes of study from alternative Key Stages. How these modifications are to be made is left to the discretion of the RE subject leader and headteacher. Teachers should provide access to learning for pupils with special educational needs by:
• making provision for pupils who need help with language, literacy and communication;
• enabling pupils to manage their behaviour and emotions so that they can access the RE curriculum;
• planning learning experiences which will develop pupils’ understanding through the use of all available senses;
• planning carefully to allow opportunities for all pupils to contribute productively to RE lessons;
• giving pupils the opportunities to develop the skills they need for adult life.
In addition to the eight level scale of attainment, P Levels have been developed for use with pupils working at levels below Level 1 and can be found in Appendix 1.

��������?�!�������(� pupils extend their understanding of Christianity and at least two of the other principal religions in a local, national and global context. They deepen their understanding of important beliefs, concepts and issues of truth and authority in religion. They apply their understanding of religious and philosophical beliefs, teachings and practices to a range of ultimate questions and ethical issues, with a focus on self-awareness, relationships, rights and responsibilities. They enquire into and explain some personal, philosophical, theological and cultural reasons for similarities and differences in religious beliefs and values, both within and between religions. They interpret religious texts and other sources, recognising both the power and limitations of language and other forms of communication in expressing ideas and beliefs. They reflect on the impact of religion and belief in the world, considering both the importance of interfaith dialogue and the tensions that exist within and between religions and beliefs. They develop their evaluative skills showing reasoned and balanced viewpoints when considering their own and others’ responses to religious, philosophical and spiritual issues.

Key Stages 1 and 2; • the six principal religions in greater depth
through Key Stages 3 and 4 and post-16.
Key Stage 3 must ensure that pupils deepen and extend their knowledge of and responses to Christianity and other principal religions which are represented within Hertfordshire. This programme of study should contribute to pupils’ knowledge and understanding and provide opportunities for reflection on the six key areas of Religious Education: AT1 Beliefs and teachings, #eligious practices and lifestyles, $ays of expressing meaning, AT2 Human identity, personality and experience, %uestions of meaning and purpose, &alues and commitments. Through direct teaching and a range of strategies such as enquiry, exploration, discussion, asking and answering questions, artefacts, visits and faith visitors, pupils should be actively engaged in learning:

The eight level scale of attainment
The attainment targets for Religious Education in Hertfordshire set out the knowledge, skills and understanding that pupils of different abilities and maturities are expected to have by the end of Key Stages 1, 2 and 3. The level descriptions outline the types and range of performance that pupils working at a particular level should characteristically demonstrate. This eight level scale has been devised taking account of the level descriptors provided in the non-statutory framework for Religious Education. Teachers will wish to use this scale for a variety of purposes including:
• to help with the setting of learning objectives and developing success criteria;
• to assist in setting tasks which are appropriate for the ability level of pupils;
• in assessing pupils' levels of attainment at the end of a Key Stage; • in reporting to parents either in terms of a level, if it is felt to be
appropriate, or in using some of the terminology drawn from the level statements.
The two attainment targets, earning about religion and �earning from religion are closely related and neither should be taught in isolation. Therefore, assessment needs to take place in relation to both attainment targets. The level descriptions provide the basis to make judgements about pupils' performance at the end of Key Stages 1, 2 and 3. In the EYFS, children's attainment is assessed in relation to the early learning goals. At Key Stage 4 national qualifications are the main means of assessing attainment in Religious Education. In deciding on a pupil's level of attainment at the end of a Key Stage, teachers should judge which description best fits the pupil's performance. When doing so, each description should be considered alongside descriptions for adjacent levels.
The majority of pupils will work
within these ranges
Expected attainment for the majority of pupils at the end of the
Key Stage Key Stage 1 Levels 1 – 3 At age 7 2 Key Stage 2 Levels 2 – 5 At age 11 4 Key Stage 3 Levels 3 – 7 At age 14 5/6
Level 8 is available for very able pupils and, to help teachers differentiate exceptional performance at Key Stage 3, a description above Level 8 is provided.

Not all aspects of Religious Education can be assessed and it is inappropriate to try to assess some outcomes. The areas indicated in the scale are those where it is agreed progression may be tracked in a consistent and useful way. The level descriptions have been presented in three different formats. All identify the two attainment targets. The first is in prose form whilst the second format separates the levels into a grid, detailing Attainment Targets and the Six Key Areas. The third is presented as "pupil friendly" levels for use in target setting and assessment with pupils.
