End of Key Stage Outcomes: Disciplinary and Personal Knowledge
This overview and the associated documents support you in recognising where pupils gain disciplinary knowledge with regards to the end-of-key-stage-outcomes from the Coventry and Warwickshire Agreed Syllabus. It always explores the personal knowledge pupils bring to their learning at each stage. This links with the ‘types of knowledge’ outlined in the recent Ofsted RE Research Report (May 2021).

Personal Knowledge Reflection Journals
These are for use with pupils and are also linked with the end-of-key-stage outcomes in the Coventry and Warwickshire Agreed Syllabus. They will support pupils in considering their own worldview, where their ideas and beliefs come from and metacognition for RE learning. They also pose questions for reflection linked with the end-of-key-stage outcomes for each key stage.
