A recommendation for RE to join be part of the National Curriculum. This is a positive step forward for the RE community in creating a future where the subject has parity with other subjects, increased government support, and consistently high standards across England. #TeamRE

An exciting day for us in the RE world! We are a diverse family in AREIAC and personally I welcome the emphasis in the talk today around the CaAR on a consensus across the different parts of our community to bring about needed change. #teamre
