Our Curriculum

Faith, Philosophy and Ethics

An enquiry-based approach to learning blends comfortably with the NHP mindset. During their time with us in the Lower and Middle School, pupils will focus on each of the main world religions in a four-step process of questioning, engagement, investigation and evaluating. Whilst fostering an ethos of tolerance, open-mindedness, empathy and curiosity, we explore themes such as commitment, family, faith, support, belonging and identity. This also gives the children the opportunity to explore their own sense of faith and spirituality and their personal understanding of God.

 

In the Upper School, FPE is planned alongside History and Geography and, using locations, such as India or China, as anchors, pupils explore the impact and importance of religion within the specific context and period of history.

 

As part of their learning, children will visit a range of different places of worship and meet visiting practitioners and priests from different religions in assemblies and workshops.
