Our Vision for RE
Students at SJB study RE to understand better who they are; to find their place in the world and receive the tools to strive to be the best version of themselves.
Key Stage 3
Year 7
In year 7 students will study the key foundational beliefs of the Catholic Church, focussing first on developing an understanding of core beliefs about the nature of God. From here the students learn about what it means to belong to the Catholic Church, the gift of the sacramental life and the liturgical year.

Year 8
In year 8, students will study the story of salvific history through the study of Biblical narrative. They will journey through the Old Testament and use this to then study the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.

Year 9
Year 9 begins with the Acts of the Apostles and quickly focusses on the spread of Christianity in the early Church. From here, students explore more abstract Gospel concepts of ‘stewardship, ‘Imago Dei’ and the historical roots and connections between Judaism and Christianity.
