RE Statement of Entitlement for Church Schools
Entitlement
The Locally Agreed Syllabus states the minimum number of hours per year are:
| Key Stage | What to Teach | Entitlement |
| EYFS | Christianity and a range of other religions and world views. | 30 Hours |
| KS1 | Christianity. At least two or more of the other major religions and world views that may be reflected in your school community and relevant to the experience of the pupils. | Minimum 36 hours |
| KS2 | Christianity Five other world religions, humanism and an acknowledgement of other world views. | Minimum of 45 hours |
However, the ‘Statement of Entitlement’ states that in Church Schools, RE ‘should aim to be close to 10% curriculum time but must be no less than 5% in key stages 1-4’ page 3. So, in addition to this minimum requirement outlined above, Church Schools - like Castle Camps - increase the number of RE hours close to 10%. This might be through:
- Enrichment days
- Bible Stories
- The Study of Religious Festivals
- Trips & Visits
- Extended RE lessons.
