Curriculum Sequencing and Community Relevance

A clear vision and coherent sequencing of the curriculum are essential for effective religious education (RE) in primary schools. By transitioning from half termly units to termly units, educators can better organize content and ensure a logical flow of lessons. Moreover, linking the curriculum to the local community enhances its relevance, allowing students to connect what they learn with their immediate environment. An example includes focusing on Christianity and Islam in a multicultural area, which tailors the curriculum to reflect the diverse backgrounds of the students, making learning more meaningful.
