Recognising outstanding learning in religious education

We ask such difficult questions in RE that even our teacher can’t answer them!

I want to help the subject leader to move forward in RE and the REQM was a way of doing that.

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.

Religion is important to our peaceful school because we need to understand that every human being is unique in their beliefs but everyone has equal value.

The RE Mark has raised the profile of all that we do. We are already very RE centred but is has raised even more awareness across the staff about how it encompasses all that we do and all that we are about.

Learning about other religions is important because you find out how they are different and how they are the same.
