The impact of Religious Education is measured in numerous ways. A pupil-friendly record sheet is designed to be used at the end of each unit for self-assessment and for teachers to judge the achievements of each child. There is no specific assessment task for units as every task, potentially, can be assessed and contribute to the expected achievements. The syllabus gives clear suggestions as to how the outcomes of activities can be recorded and this is all used as evidence of pupils’ capabilities. The ladder of expectation and achievement in RE is used to assess the achievements of our pupils. Evidence from this comes from pupils’ books, class discussions and work in the Floorbook. This then correlates to whether they are working towards, within or above the expectations. 

• Explain the impact of religion on believers’ lives, identify distinctive beliefs within and between religions, and express their own views.
• Show understanding of and describe, using a wide vocabulary, religious beliefs, actions and values. Begin to apply ideas to situations and experiences.    
• Ask important questions, make links between stories and beliefs, begin to identify the impact of religion and make connections to their own experiences. 
• Retell stories using religious words to identify features and expressions of religion and begin to ask questions.
• Recall stories, recognise features of religion and talk about their own experiences. 

 

The overall impact of RE is clear through the way our children live their lives through our Christian values in school and in the community.
