Our aim is to foster caring and understanding in our pupils. There is a particular focus on the Christian faith, but we also recognise the value and richness of a multi-faith community, promoting a positive school environment full of compassion and understanding.\r\n\r\nPupils are encouraged to think and reflect on the meanings of the Church\u2019s teachings in a respectful manner and how they are relevant to our lives. Topics taught give children an opportunity to relate key beliefs of the Catholic faith to their own feelings, inspiring an atmosphere of respect and reflection.\r\n\r\nOur programme mainly focuses on Christianity; however, we do study other world faiths to promote understanding and mutual respect. Children are encouraged to see that the world needs people who can appreciate religious and cultural differences of others, and who are able to contribute to a cohesive and compassionate society. As such, children are also taught about two other religions at specified times in the year to broaden their experience of what it means to have faith.\r\n\r\nIn addition to weekly RE lessons, children engage in collective worship, which plays an integral role in our school life. Year groups and classes gather throughout the week to worship together in prayer and celebrations. Moreover, we have strong links with the parishes in the local community with regular visits from Fr Celestine Ekwueme, Fr. James and Fr. Chris Keen throughout the liturgical year.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stjosephsfederation.co.uk\/news\/marian-procession-28-may\/\">Click here to see pictures from our celebration of the month of Mary<\/a>\r\n\r\nCurrent affairs closely link to our RE curriculum and children are encouraged to relate topical events to our Christian beliefs and think about \u2018What would Jesus do?\u2019 Supporting our local and global community is a key part of our school\u2019s ethos. We nurture children to think about the difference they can make to the wider world. Through our \u2018Enterprise\u2019 topic, children set up their businesses and donate 50% of their profits to their chosen charity. Children learn about ethical enterprise and the importance of being responsible for their fellow human beings.\r\n\r\nPupil voice is a strength and children write a letter of application to become \u2018Apostles of Mercy\u2019 They are pupil representatives and responsible for delivering assemblies, organising fundraising events and supporting the spiritual development of the school.\r\n\r\nOur school is ethos is based on Christ\u2019s values and teachings and this is an integral part of our lives. Values of respect, tolerance, and forgiveness are not only key to our RE curriculum but are an integral part of our lives at St Joseph School.\r\n\r\n<strong>Mrs C Phillips<\/strong>\r\n\r\nRE Lead","content_two":"","section_width":"full","content_width":"wide","section_title":"","align_title":"text-left","section_spacing":"no-spacing-both","separator":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","columns":"1","content_one":"<a class=\"download\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stjosephsfederation.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/nursery-religious-education.pdf\">Nursery religious education<\/a>\r\n<a class=\"download\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stjosephsfederation.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/infant-reception-religious-education.pdf\">Infant &amp; Reception religious education<\/a>\r\n<a class=\"download\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stjosephsfederation.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/year-1-religious-education.pdf\">Year 1 religious education<\/a>\r\n<a class=\"download\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stjosephsfederation.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/year-2-religious-education.pdf\">Year 2 religious education<\/a>\r\n<a class=\"download\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stjosephsfederation.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/year-3-religious-education.pdf\">Year 3 religious education<\/a>\r\n<a class=\"download\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stjosephsfederation.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/year-4-religious-education.pdf\">Year 4 religious education<\/a>\r\n<a class=\"download\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stjosephsfederation.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/year-5-religious-education.pdf\">Year 5 religious education<\/a>\r\n<a class=\"download\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stjosephsfederation.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/year-6-religious-education.pdf\">Year 6 religious education<\/a>\r\n<a class=\"download\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stjosephsfederation.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Bishops-Statement-Honouring-Sunday-Catholic-Bishops-Conference.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catholic Bishops Conference statement -
