This Religious Education Curriculum Map from Hethersett CEVE Primary School aims to enable children to have informed conversations about religions and worldviews, to think deeply making links between different religions and worldviews and explore similarities while celebrating differences.

The curriculum is centred on the study of Christianity with links then made outwards to other faiths and worldviews.

To create commonality between Key Stages and Year Groups there are Golden Threads that run between the different units of study. Children will revisit many of these threads each year to deepen their knowledge and understanding.

These Golden Threads are:

• Deities
• Creation & Fall
• Old Testament
• Life of Jesus
• Good News
• Salvation
• Life & Death

In KS1 the Threads follow the seasons and festivals of the year. In KS2 the Threads are followed in their Biblical order so children can see the Big Story of the Bible.
