✨ Religion, Values and Ethics (RVE) at Llanrhidian Primary School

At Llanrhidian Primary School, our RVE curriculum supports pupils to become thoughtful, compassionate, and open-minded individuals. Rooted in the Curriculum for Wales, our approach helps children explore life’s big questions, reflect on their values and beliefs, and develop an informed understanding of the diverse world they live in.

�� A Curriculum for Understanding Ourselves and Others

Our RVE curriculum helps learners to:

• Ask deep questions about what it means to be human, and explore ideas such as belief, identity, and belonging.

• Learn about a range of religious and non-religious worldviews, appreciating both shared values and differences.

• Develop their own sense of spirituality, purpose, and connection.

�� Learning Through Enquiry and Real-World Contexts

We provide rich, meaningful experiences that:

• Encourage curiosity and critical thinking through big questions and real-life examples.

• Allow children to experience awe, wonder, and reflection as part of their learning journey.

• Explore key concepts such as faith, truth, meaning, life and death, and ultimate reality in an age-appropriate and respectful way.

�� Promoting Respect, Tolerance and Diversity

Our RVE lessons help pupils to:

• Explore themes such as equality, tolerance, justice, freedom, prejudice, and discrimination.

• Understand how beliefs and values influence people’s lives and actions.

• Respectfully consider the lived experiences of others, both locally and globally.
