I learn new things about God and different religions so you know how to respect people.
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 like acting things out. It makes it more interactive. I get to do it. I like talking and seeing other points of view.
A big question stays with you until you find the answer.
RE is very useful for the development of children’s literacy skills. It gives them additional opportunities for speaking and listening, reading and writing. Some of the drama is particularly useful for our EAL children and the RE writing gives them an opportunity to express opinions about another part of their school life.
