Recognising outstanding learning in religious education

I’ve learnt to be able to think through really important stuff, you know things in daily life that might affect me … I feel I can work through anything now because of RE even when I leave school …

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

The RE Quality Mark has enabled us to evaluate our provision in RE. We have been able to celebrate our strengths and develop a clear action plan for further development. Our school improvement plan is driven by RE. We made the bold decision two years ago that all teachers should deliver RE to their classes and that it become a core subject in our school. Pedagogy in RE has had a direct impact on all curriculum areas as we have developed our questioning strategies.  This  has raised even more awareness across the staff about how it encompasses all that we do and all that we are about.

If we didn’t do RE we would be stuck in our own little bubble.

RE is essential for learning, it helps us become broad-minded about life, rather than staying closed minded.

RE makes you think of questions which you might never have thought of like ‘should we take religion to another planet?’
