I like RE because it gives you a chance to learn something new everyday.
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.

I have read the quality mark criteria and they are very good. Well done to you and whoever else worked on them.
RE helps you to see things from a different perspective.
I find the topics this year more interesting than in younger years as the topics we cover affect us more in daily life. For example: the first topic we studied was War and Peace which is always present so it’s useful to know things such as the ‘just war’ conditions so you can evaluate whether present wars meet these conditions.
Every lesson is a question.
I like learning about RE. There’s no right or wrong answer. People respect your opinions.
