Recognising outstanding learning in religious education

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.

In RE we argue and debate in RE but we stay friends!

I like the way RE helps us show respect for others.

RE makes us ask questions in other subjects too- like science. It’s important to consider other views

My best learning experience in RE was when my teacher put out some Jewish objects on a table. There was a Torah scroll, a kippah and a Hanukkiah. He also put out some photo, posters and books. We got a sheet and had to draw an object, so I liked this activity as we had choice and then predict what this object was for in Judaism.  After we had predicted we went to find out what the object was and how it was used in Judaism.  I also like this topic as we had a visitors come and talk to us about their Jewish faith.

RE helps you to see things from a different perspective.
