Religion and Worldviews

Kapow Primary’s Religion and Worldviews curriculum is used throughout Western House to develop deep thinkers who are open-minded about religion and worldviews. The Kapow Primary Religion and Worldviews curriculum emphasises the importance of diverse representation within and across religions and worldviews, focusing on real people’s lived experiences of their beliefs. The curriculum is relevant to our pupils, reflecting and preparing them for further life.  Through the scheme, our children will secure a deep understanding of concepts in order to be able to make connections, ask and respond to challenging questions, learn to respect and appreciate worldviews that are different to their own and consider their personal preconceptions, responses and views.

Our children will build their conceptual knowledge through studying religions and worldviews locally, nationally and globally in our progressive curriculum, enabling them to make links and connections between worldviews, develop disciplinary skills and build on their understanding of their positionality in relation to their learning.  By revisiting key ‘big questions’ and building on prior knowledge, the children will learn about how religion and worldviews are lived experiences across the world, consider the impact of worldviews on society and have opportunities to consider their personal worldviews.

At WHA, we believe in providing enriching learning experiences that go beyond the classroom. As part of our commitment to developing understanding and respect for different faiths, we take our children on trips to various places of worship. These visits allow them to experience different religious traditions firsthand, ask questions, and deepen their knowledge of diverse beliefs and cultures. Through these opportunities, we aim to foster a sense of inclusivity, respect, and curiosity about the world around them.
