👩‍🎓Every child deserves an expert teacher, including RE. But with specialist RE teacher numbers falling, are we giving the subject, and our pupils, the support they deserve?

Local media and school reports are highlighting the achievements of students studying A’ level Religious Studies - and the teachers who have supported them along the way. #TeamRE Do you have an A’ level RS success story from your school? We’d love to hear about it. Share your story in the comments 👇

A-level RS entries have fallen for the 5th consecutive year. But behind the figures is a bigger concern - students cannot choose a subject their school cannot offer. #TeamRE 👉🏼 natre.org.uk/news/lack-of-re-specialists-in-schools-means-students-unable-to-take-the-subject-at-a-level-says-sector

Whatever pathway young people choose, they'll need to make ethical decisions, work with people from different backgrounds and act with integrity. These aren't optional soft skills, they're essential. High-quality #ReligiousEducation helps prepare pupils for work and life #TeamRE

NATRE @natre-update.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
With the government paying more attention to vocational education we thought it might be useful to talk about the value of RE for working life. Anyone have any examples? #TeamRE

Who can train to teach RE? 🤔 More people than you think! You don't need to be religious or have a Theology degree. Providers want curious minds from a range of backgrounds. Requirements: An undergraduate degree (usually 2:2+), GCSE Grade 4/C in English & Maths #getintoteaching
