We need more RE teachers! RE is an academically diverse subject. My philosophy degree inspired my passion for teaching about big ideas and exploring themes such as ethics and meaning with young people. Find out more about becoming a RE teacher here👇 natre.org.uk/how-do-i-bec...

I submitted my evidence this evening. I mostly focused on the anachronistic, fragmented system for local RE curricula and the need for a National Curriculum for RE. I know this is not a priority for the DfE but, unless we take the opportunity to speak up, the current system will stagger on forever.

Joe Kinnaird @joekinnaird.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

This is a superb contribution from Kathryn and essential reading for those in the subject community. Things need to change in RE. In my view, a national curriculum for RE is the change needed.

This is an excellent thread on the arguments for and against RE having a national curriculum.
