Assessor's Visit

Each award visit takes up to two hours 15 minutes and the programme is as follows:

Meeting a group (or groups) – of pupils for 30 minutes
Discussion with the RE subject leader about the criteria and the school evidence form – 1 hour
Time for the assessor to view evidence and note progress – 30 minutes
Meeting with the headteacher (or a member of the senior leadership team responsible for RE) – 15 minutes

After the assessment you will be asked to give some feedback about how you found the process, and your assessor will receive a copy. Your assessor will also provide feedback to the REQM administrator and your school will receive a copy.

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.)

RE is ‘refreshing’!!

Secondary student

I have read the quality mark criteria and they are very good. Well done to you and whoever else worked on them.

RE makes us ask questions in other subjects too- like science. It’s important to consider other views

Secondary student

I loved the fact that when an example of evidence from the REQM criteria was unknown to this teacher she looked it up and is already piloting Labyrinths and other methods.

REQM assessor

My best learning experience in RE was when my teacher put out some Jewish objects on a table. There was a Torah scroll, a kippah and a Hanukkiah. He also put out some photo, posters and books. We got a sheet and had to draw an object, so I liked this activity as we had choice and then predict what this object was for in Judaism. After we had predicted we went to find out what the object was and how it was used in Judaism. I also like this topic as we had a visitors come and talk to us about their Jewish faith.
