Recognising outstanding learning in religious education

Going out to visit places of worship – going to the mosque was fun. Going to visit Westminster Abbey tour was great. We had a workshop that taught us more about Christian beliefs.  By going to a place of worship you get the experience of seeing and feeling what it is like.  You get professionals to talk to you about the religion, even better than a teacher.

I like that we are free to give any opinion that we want to give, that we are not pressured into feeling a certain way which is good when discussing such personal topics.

The iPads are great! They are really useful for research – it is easier than going to a computer.  They are useful for revision – Sir makes voice recordings for the key topics.  There are apps for phones as well.

The issues we discuss in RE go beyond the classroom. Even in the quad, groups of students will discuss whatever we have been discussing in RE. At home I often have discussions with my Dad about we have talked about in RE.

RE helps you to grow in maturity. Seeing the bigger picture helps you to understand things.

RE contributes a huge amount to the school ethos.
