RELIGIOUS EDUCATION (RE)
At The Cobbs Infant and Nursery School, we provide a broad and balanced curriculum which encompasses spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. We follow the Lancashire Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education. We acknowledge that the religious traditions of our school are mainly Christian, but we take account of the teaching and practices of other principal religions. Our children enjoy their RE learning as they explore with their peers, collaborating and thinking creatively. They develop knowledge and skills for life, learning to reflect, consider and express their viewpoints as well as gaining a wider and more in depth understanding of the similarities and differences between different beliefs, values and practices of religion.

See what our children learn about Religious Education in the Pupil Voice slideshows and videos below.
Children enjoy a range of activities including exploring artefacts, tasting foods and learning stories related to a variety of festivals, for example Diwali. We also enjoy responding to the diverse religious and cultural backgrounds within our school community and share celebrations such as the Islamic festival of Eid-al-Fitr with the children.
Part of our school year is learning about Christingle in December through our special Christingle assembly.
The children look forward to their RE lessons and show maturity and respectfulness when discussing their learning. See What Religious Education looks like in our school above.
