Come and See
‘Pupils have a right to receive an overall religious education that will enable them, in the light of the faith of the Church, to engage with the deepest questions of life and find reasons for the hope that is within them (1 Peter 3:15)…Therefore Religious Education is never simply one subject among many, but the foundation of the entire educational process.’
(Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, January 2000.)

To fulfil our aims and objectives St. Matthew’s Catholic Primary School will follow the Come and See programme of Religious Education, recommended by the Archdiocese of Liverpool as our scheme of work.
Come and See is an invitation to exploration and promise of life for everyone. Come and See offers the opportunity to search, to explore, to discover, and to respond; this is part of what it is to be human.
Come and see aims to raise questions and provide materials for children to reflect on their own experience. For all children the programme will raise questions of meaning and purpose and enable children to think critically, providing materials for reflecting on their own experience.
I will help them to explore the skills and values and the way of life of the Catholic traditions, developing good attitudes and dispositions so that the children are instilled with a ‘love of learning’ and a desire to go on learning.
Children will be offered a sense of self-worth through experience of belonging to the caring community St Matthew’s Catholic Primary School.
