Summertime Sessions - staff training or bespoke support

Expert guidance. Personalised support. A confident start to September.

Bring your ideas, questions, curriculum or plans…and we'll work on them together.
Book time with an RE Today expert adviser this summer for tailored support with whatever matters most to you and your school. Whether you have a clear goal in mind or simply know you'd like to strengthen your RE provision, we'll work together to identify the most valuable way to use your session.

No two sessions are the same. Teachers have used these sessions to develop whole-school curricula, review the substantive knowledge across their curriculum, plan engaging learning for a particular class, develop new units of work, strengthen the teaching of a concept across the school, and enhance the teaching of religious festivals. These are just examples. No matter where you're starting from, the session is shaped around you. Come with a clear goal, a half-formed idea or simply a willingness to improve your RE – we'll take it from there together.

These sessions are collaborative and completely tailored to your needs. You'll leave with fresh ideas, greater confidence and clear next steps to help your RE flourish from the very start of the new academic year.

Benefits of attending a summertime session include:

• One-to-one support tailored to your needs.
• Expert guidance from an experienced RE Today adviser.
• A sounding board to test, refine and develop your thinking.
• Increased confidence in your RE classroom practice, or your RE leadership.
• Time to think strategically, away from the pressures of the school day and term time.

Topics can include:

• RE curriculum planning

• Engaging pupils with diverse worldviews
• Improving assessment strategies
• Developing effective teaching strategies
• Applying ways of knowing in the classroom
