In RE, we discuss, come back to things and then we always think of something else we hadn’t thought of before.
RE provides space in the curriculum where learners and their teachers can explore the important ideas about what it means to be human and to learn about religion and worldviews.
RE is full of the big questions of meaning and purpose, how we celebrate and how we decide what is right and wrong. The REQM team enjoys working with schools and pupils finding out what they enjoy about religious education and what could make it even better.
The RE Quality Mark has been managed by the RE Council of England and Wales since 2015.
Where RE is well taught it gives pupils and students the chances to think about, reflect and respond to matters of faith, belief and values through the study of religion and worldviews. Pupils say RE opens their eyes to how others see the world and gives them the chance to express their insights about how we respond to the big questions of being human.

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.
In RE I like the open discussions that we have about big questions.
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.
RE helps us not to be stereotypical.
I like the way in RE, a question often leads to a question.
