At St Wilfrid’s, our mission is to nurture the formation of the whole child — intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally. We strive to provide enriching opportunities for children to grow in knowledge, deepen their faith, and develop their spirituality through meaningful experiences, prayer, and cross-curricular learning. 

Our Day by Day curriculum is guided by the Religious Education Directory To Know You More Clearly, which seeks to provide a rich and meaningful foundation in the Catholic faith. It invites the children to explore scripture, consider its message for their own lives and respond meaningfully to their learning.  

To explore the Religious Education Directory 2025 – “To Know You More Clearly” please click here. 

Our curriculum is organised into six distinct branches, each delivered on a half-termly basis. 

Autumn 1 - Creation and Covenant  

Autumn 2 - Prophecy and Promise  

Spring 1 - Galilee to Jerusalem  

Spring 2 - Desert to Garden  

Summer 1 - To the Ends of the Earth  

Summer 2 - Dialogue and Encounter   

These branches are revisited annually, forming a spiral curriculum that enables children to build on prior knowledge and deepen their understanding year after year.

In our final branch – Dialogue and Encounter – the children will encounter and learn about other religions. This gives them a powerful opportunity to ask thoughtful questions, develop empathy and understanding for people with different worldviews and learn respectful dialogue skills to promote peace and understanding.
