re curriculum
In line with The Church of England’s ‘Statement of Entitlement’, we provide a rich and varied religious education curriculum using two different R.E. schemes.
The first curriculum is ‘Understanding Christianity’. This programme helps children to acquire a thorough knowledge and understanding of the Christian faith and its key theological concepts. This is integrated with their understanding of themselves and of the world.

We also use the Coventry and Warwickshire Agreed Syllabus. This includes learning on all of the main world religions including Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism as well as non-religious world views such as Humanism. Children’s learning aims to instil respect for different views and interpretations of key religious concepts and focuses on how people of faith live, believe and express their beliefs.
collective worship
At KPS, we ensure that our daily acts of worship are inspiring, engaging and relevant to the children’s life. They are Christian in character and include teaching, stories, Bible stories and teachings, opportunities for reflection, songs and invitational prayer.
Collective worship regularly focuses on our school parable, school values (and their Biblical narrative) and wider Christian values, as well as religious festivals and British values.
We provide opportunities for our children to plan and deliver worship in their classes and to the whole school. We have a small group of students in a Faith Alive group who work aside clergy and teachers to plan and lead whole school worship.
We also hold a weekly celebration assembly in which we highlight and celebrate individual’s success inside and outside school. Children are invited to bring in medals, trophies, certificates etc. to share and celebrate their successes with the school community.

partnership with church and diocese
We are fortunate to have a very strong relationship with St Peter’s Church in Kineton. Reverend Barry Jackson delivers weekly worship in school, with which the children are extremely engaged. We make regular trips to the church to support our R.E. learning as well as at important times in the church calendar such as Harvest, Christmas and Easter. Reverend Barry also supports delivery of the R.E. curriculum as needed and supports staff in its effective delivery.
St Peter’s Storytellers are a group of members of the local community who regularly lead worship in school re-telling Bible stories.
As part of the Coventry Diocese, we benefit from a range of support and opportunities for children to be involved in wider Christian celebrations such as diocesan anniversaries, Cross of Nails events and Christingle services.
