Wales
RE Today continues to work extensively with schools, initial teacher training providers and other RE professionals across Wales and we now have a full-time adviser based in the Principality.
All of our advisers are keen to engage with even more teachers and learners in Wales and are excited at the prospect of supporting schools to deliver the very best RE within the new curriculum context.
Case Study:
Succeed at GCSE RS in Wales
School/Organisation Name:
Secondary teachers in Wales
What did they need?
The course focuses on ways to help teachers successfully manage the demands of the more content-rich and academically demanding GCSE RS specification.
Working with RE Today
This one-day GCSE course is designed to meet the requirements of the WJEC specification for Wales. The RE Adviser worked with teachers with varying levels of experience and who work in very different contexts. Equipping them with ready-to-use learning and teaching resources and ideas, the day was full of discussion, modelling of classroom activities and ideas for strategic planning.
How did we do?
Lisa James, Curriculum Leader for Religion and Philosophy at Cardiff High School
“A fantastic day! Lots of ideas and resources to take and use straight away. Plenty of practical suggestions for helping student to achieve the best grades even if you are pushed for time. Excellent value and I would highly recommend to anyone teaching GCSE RS in Wales.”
