Brampton Church of England Primary School

At the Association of Bramfield, Brampton and Ringsfield CE Primary Schools, all the clases are following the Emmanuel Project produced by St Edmundsbury and Ipswich Diocese. It provides 22 enquiry based units for teaching Christianity in RE for Early Years/Foundation Stage, KS1 and KS2.

We aim to be as creative as possible with our RE teaching and so far this year our children in FS have dressed up as 'Superheros' during their unit on Superheros, children in key stage 1 have Christened and baptized their class doll and children in key stage 2 have investigated some mysteries of the world such as the Mobius strip, the Loch Ness monster and outer space leading them onto thinking about the mystery of God as Trinity

RE is considered to be a core subject at our schools and it is an important part of the week for every child. Each class keeps a scrapbook of their practical activities and work in addition contributing to a colourful display in the classroom.  We work  closely with our colleagues from the Diocese for regular training. 

The units meet Suffolk Agreed Syllabus requirements. They are adaptable for use elsewhere and are based on key beliefs / concepts in an enquiry framework. They provide background on Christian beliefs for teachers and introduce material on the Bible, church practices and living as a Christian. They also offer ideas for assessment.
