RE is everywhere in our school, well more than that really…. in RE there are no walls….
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.

When we are learning in RE we ask questions such as, “The Eightfold Path – can we actually follow this?” And “Is God real? Is this real?”
Auschwitz was just a photograph then when I went there, it was different.
I loved the way that the RE coordinator involved the pupils and staff in the planning of the RE days.
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.
I like heated debates ad discussion in RE as they show me how passionate we can be about topics. In a discussion you listen and accept and then present your view, but a debate is better because you get to analyse and challenge other people’s beliefs, and in the process you get challenged!
