RE is a time when everyone is equal because there might not be a right answer.
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.
RE is a time when everyone is equal because there might not be a right answer.
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.
I like RE because it gives you a chance to learn something new everyday.
I don’t have a faith so it is good that I learn about faiths and then later on in life I could choose to follow a faith if I want to.
I feel it is important to know to improve my RE because I want to take GCSE RE and hope to get an A.
We love RE. We can express our own views and opinions without fear of being wrong.
