Religion and Worldviews (RWV) at Easton
As a Church of England Primary School, we follow the Church of England Statement of Entitlement for Religious Education (Included in RWV Useful Documents). It aims:
To enable children to know about and understand Christianity as a living faith that has shaped British culture and heritage.
To help children to know and understand a range of religions and worldviews alongside their impact on the wider world.
To contribute to the development of children’s own spiritual/philosophical/theological beliefs and values.
As a school we also want to prepare children for the diverse landscape of modern Britain; welcoming those of all faiths or none. Especially within the context of Easton.
RWV Curriculum Overview
Please see the RWV Useful Documents tab below to read the full Curriculum Overwiew for Lighthouse Partnership Schools.
We adapt this curriculum to ensure that it is rooted in our School Vision Being Different, Belonging Together and Bible verse Micah 6:8 “Act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.” This also includes ensuring that global images are used to explore a range of religious/non-religious views.
Implementation
Children participate in weekly RWV (Religion and Worldviews) sessions, which are enhanced by dedicated time for ‘I Wonder’ activities—a space for curiosity, philosophical inquiry, and personal reflection. See the Spirituality page for more detail.
To enrich classroom learning, pupils also take part in educational visits to a variety of places of worship, offering real-world experiences that deepen their understanding of faith communities and promote respect for diversity.

The Wire Award Gold
At the end of July 2023, we were proudly awarded the Wire Award Gold. This is an award to recognise excellence in RWV in our school. Here is a link to the website should you wish to know more.
Withdrawal from RWV
You have the right to withdraw your child from RWV teaching at Easton. To do this you must speak with the Head Teacher in a formal meeting. If this is the case, parents are expected to provide work of a religious nature for their child to complete during the weekly 1hr RWV lesson.
