You could send news of the award to local and regional newspapers, TV and radio stations and local council newsletters and it can also go onto your school’s website (see below).
You might also want to hold a celebration event for parents, feeder schools, governors and the local community. This is what some schools have organised:
The REC also reserves the right to notify RE associations and the wider educational community through social media and announcements on the REC and REQM websites.

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 think RE is a good and helpful way to understand what other people believe and respect.
There were a number of good ideas which challenged us, e.g. the idea of pupils planning lessons. Although our pupils have always been involved in our planning and our schemes of work contained many of their suggestions, e.g. using film clips and music, we have never formally asked pupils to plan lessons before. We asked a class of Year 10 pupils to plan lessons on Christmas for Year 7 pupils and they also delivered a small part of the lessons. This was a very rewarding experience for all concerned and we added new lessons to our scheme of work as a result. We will continue to develop this idea.
I like heated debates ad discussion in RE as they show me how passionate we can be about topics. In a discussion you listen and accept and then present your view, but a debate is better because you get to analyse and challenge other people’s beliefs, and in the process you get challenged!
Religion is important to our peaceful school because we need to understand that every human being is unique in their beliefs but everyone has equal value.
