Recognising outstanding learning in religious education

In RE I get a sense of being with everyone else in the class in a way that doesn’t happen in other lessons.

RE has an expectation of respect in lessons – this extends outside the classroom.

It’s nice to touch on real life situations and decide what we would do. Knowing that everyone has the freedom and right to a belief helps us give our opinions.

I love this subject!

Where we live there is little opportunity to gain first hand experience of other cultures and religious beliefs but RE brings this alive in the lessons.

RE contributes to the wider curriculum, developing critical thinking skills. It affects the way in which pupils see the world and so enriches pupils’ learning, for example in history and PSHE. It means that students are able to engage with British values in a much more meaningful way.
