Data and Performance
How do we ensure your child is receiving the very best education possible?
​
As a new academy school, we have not yet been inspected by Ofsted and MANY changes have occurred since the last inspection in January 2017, which can be viewed here.
We have a robust self-evaluation system in place and constantly strive for excellence.
Our staff are highly motivated in making our school a hub for learning where all children are able to achieve.

RE at Kiveton Park Meadows Junior School
At Kiveton Park Meadows, RE is a vital part of our curriculum. Using the Rotherham RE Syllabus, we aim to develop curiosity, understanding, and respect for diverse religions, cultures, and worldviews from Key Stage 2 onwards. Our lessons introduce pupils to foundational concepts of belief, values, and identity, while helping them explore, reflect, and ask meaningful questions about the world.

Our Goals
​
Through RE, pupils develop critical thinking, open-mindedness, and empathy. They gain insight into how faith shapes people’s lives and society, and learn to engage respectfully with different perspectives. Our curriculum supports spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development, fostering understanding of diversity and nurturing responsible, thoughtful citizens.
​
Why RE Matters
​
Learning about religions and worldviews enriches children’s educational experiences and equips them with essential life skills. Pupils develop respect, empathy, and the ability to make reasoned, informed judgments about moral and religious issues. RE encourages children to reflect on their own beliefs and values while understanding those of others, promoting thoughtful, open-minded engagement with the world around them.
​
​​​​​​Our RE Curriculum
​
Our RE curriculum is designed to ensure children know about and understand a range of religions and worldviews. Pupils learn to express ideas and insights into the significant questions that religions address, gaining the knowledge and skills to study religion thoughtfully.
Teaching RE helps children understand how religious beliefs influence lives and behaviour, while encouraging discussion, enquiry, debate, and independent thought. Reading is central to our approach, with texts used to support reflection, analysis, and the development of ideas. We also incorporate British values, ensuring pupils are aware of their rights, responsibilities, and the importance of living harmoniously in a diverse society.
​
How RE is Taught
​
At Kiveton Park Meadows, RE is taught through weekly lessons using the Rotherham RE Syllabus, ensuring clear progression, coverage of key concepts, and meaningful engagement with a variety of world religions and worldviews.
​
Lessons are hands-on, interactive, and discussion-based, giving pupils opportunities to explore beliefs, values, and practices through enquiry, reflection, and debate. Children learn by:
-
Handling religious artefacts to gain a tangible understanding of traditions
-
Exploring symbolic foods and rituals to connect learning to real-life practice
-
Participating in role-play and drama to deepen empathy and understanding
-
Reading and discussing texts from different religions to support critical thinking and reflection
-
Collaborative activities and debates to develop communication skills and respectful dialogue
-
​
Teachers encourage pupils to ask questions, reflect on their own experiences, and consider different perspectives. Lessons are structured to build knowledge and skills progressively while fostering curiosity, open-mindedness, and respect for diversity.
​
Supporting Every Learner
​
The RE curriculum is inclusive. Adaptations for pupils with SEND or additional needs include visual aids, simplified storytelling, and hands-on activities such as handling religious artefacts, exploring symbolic foods, and participating in role-play. Prompts, scaffolds, and interactive tasks help all children engage meaningfully with different faiths and traditions.
Pupil Voice
​
“I enjoy learning about different faiths; it is really interesting.”
​
“Harvest is a festival where we bring in food for others who don’t have much. We support different charities.”
​
“Learning about religions makes me think about what’s happening in the world. We talked about people helping others because their religion teaches them to care, and it made me think about how I can help too.”
​
“I enjoy focusing on Remembrance. I have a relative who was in World War II and it is important that we remember.”
​
“I have learned that even though people have different religions, a lot of them believe in being good to others.”
