I think RE is a good and helpful way to understand what other people believe and respect.
If appropriate, we would also like to use photographs of your work for the REQM website. These should be submitted with your feedback, and we will assume all necessary clearances and permissions have been obtained under the school’s own DBS and GDPR arrangements. (Please read the code of conduct for assessors.)
An award for display will be sent to the school. You will also get sent the logos for use on stationary and your website. (For further information, see the Publicity section).
The award is valid for three years, but your school can reapply at any time..

Most RE lessons consist of debates and discussions: much more interesting than just writing in a book!
It was great to have time to think about RE and wonderful to be able to discuss our department. The opportunity for this kind of professional dialogue about RE was a rare treat for me and it was a pleasure to be able to spend time thinking about our practice with you.
RE is about thinking hard as you have to really think about other peoples’ thoughts, and then help them to think even more about it – and that’s not easy!
I feel safe asking challenging questions.
The REQM made us realise the importance of the role we can play in the local community, both in terms of developing dialogue and promoting the value of RE. These are all things we have done in the past, but the REQM served as a timely reminder that these aspects of an excellent RE department also ultimately result in an improved experience for our pupils.
Join the REQM community and help to build an effective RE in your setting and across the wider education world.
