WIRE Award

As a school we have achieved the WIRE Award (Widening Inclusivity in Religious Education)

The WIRE award recognises excellence in RE in schools and their commitment to religious education.

One of the additional resources we use is 'Bake through The Bible'. The children explore key Bible stories whilst having lots of fun cooking with their friends.

Cooking activities include:
- Sparkly promise cookies to remember God’s wonderful promises to Abraham
- Happy crepe faces in response to God’s promise to send His Rescuer and Forever-King
- Spiral tuna wraps for a picnic that links with Jesus’ miracle of feeding thousands
- An empty bread tomb with Easter dips to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection

Here is an example of our yummy hot cross buns made by Year 2.
