If we didn’t do RE we would be stuck in our own little bubble.

Linda is a qualified teacher, formerly a Section 48 (SIAMS) inspector, and she spent twenty years in higher education engaged in research and in initial and continuing teacher education. Linda is convinced that confident and valued teachers are the key to successful RE in any school, and that the REQM has a very important contribution to make to the subject’s success.

RE has been the forerunner of whole school initiatives… RE innovates… and we follow!
My favourite thing about RE is the fact that we as a class can learn in an unbiased environment, where everyone’s opinion counts as equal. We learn about different beliefs a lot. This is very interesting because these beliefs can help us understand our environment.
It’s fun learning about different religions and beliefs. It helps you to learn respect.
I would like deeper and harder questions that the teachers cannot answer, an opportunity to research and develop our knowledge and beliefs.
It’s nice to touch on real life situations and decide what we would do. Knowing that everyone has the freedom and right to a belief helps us give our opinions.
