Kent Agreed Syllabus incorporating Understanding Christianity 2017-18 DRAFT

This appendix shows how those schools which have been trained to use the ‘Understanding Christianity’ materials produced by RE Today can deliver the Kent Agreed Syllabus in their context. Using this overview to deliver RE in your school will meet the legal requirements of the Kent Agreed Syllabus whilst enabling you to make the best use of the training and resources undertaken by your school for the teaching of Christianity alongside the teaching of the other major world faiths and other worldviews. Please note that all Voluntary Controlled Church of England schools in Kent are legally required to teach the Kent Locally Agreed Syllabus (see overview below). The RE taught in Voluntary Aided Church of England schools is determined by their Governors. For VA Canterbury Diocesan schools, the locally agreed syllabus is recommended to Governors (see overview below).
