Sikh Studies (Primary)
Sikh Studies at Guru Nanak Sikh Academy is integral in helping pupils develop self-awareness and understand how their beliefs influence their behaviour. The curriculum offers an age-appropriate introduction to Sikh scripture, beliefs, history, and social and moral issues, emphasising the connection between core ideas and actions. Students explore the impact of Sikh principles like equality, authority, and sharing on daily life, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of the Sikh ethos.
The curriculum is enriched through guest speakers, Gurpurb celebrations, gurdwara visits, and group discussions, allowing students to engage with Sikh practices and beliefs. It fosters teamwork, honesty, and hard work while providing opportunities to enhance literacy, RE, and PSHE skills. Through a cross-curricular approach, Sikh Studies deepens students' knowledge of Sikh history, culture, and values, reinforcing their identity as Sikhs and offering insights into significant historical events and figures.
