The conference is being held at Scarman House, University of Warwick, and is open to anyone who is passionate about improving education in RE and the wider curriculum e.g. teachers of RE, Heads of RE Department.

Full details of the event can be found here.

Here is what the Head of RE has to say:
‘I just wanted to tell you some good news about RE. Here at Royal Manor we deliver full course philosophy and applied ethics to every key stage four student. Our EBacc students get three hours a fortnight and our non EBacc students receive five hours a fortnight. Keystage four starts in year eight for us so that’s a sustained period of high quality, and objectively assessed, RE that all our students get. We are a 750-student secondary school with performing arts status and no religious affiliation. Our RE department is thriving and right at the centre of the curriculum.’

NATRE would be delighted to hear from any other RE teachers who want to share some good news about RE in their school.

The balance of faith and works is illustrated through the exploration of the importance of Jesus (pp. 12 – 18) and the emphasis on loving God and loving your neighbour, whether in the local church (pp. 19 – 24) or on a gap year abroad (pp. 25 – 30).

Throughout, students are challenged to deepen their understanding of Christianity and to engage in thoughtful reflection on their own beliefs and actions, their own impact on the world.
