# Religion &amp; Philosophy

### Religion and Philosophy  Subject Vision

We are **philosophers**

### **Engagement            Empathy             Enjoyment**

**Engagement** - Religion and Philosophy at Selwood is a subject that engages pupils by asking big questions, giving them a place to explore their own ideas, listen to others and learn to disagree  respectfully.

**Empathy** - Each pupil is then provided with the chance to explore and learn about a variety of religions and world-views, including Humanism. Respect for diversity of belief is central to our approach and is recognised that this fosters empathy, respect and a stronger sense of community in a culturally diverse society.

**Enjoyment** - A range of creative approaches are used to deliver all aspects of the curriculum with the aim of fostering a joy for learning.
