Religious Education (RE) is a vital part of the curriculum, promoting respect and understanding across different beliefs.
Support for RE Leaders
- Learn, Teach, Lead RE hubs offer school-to-school support, providing local connections and resources across the diocese.
- Each term, we offer a day-long course on an aspect of RE and specific training for RE coordinators. (See our CPD programme for more continuing professional development opportunities.)
- The RE Statement of Entitlement for Church schools and academies is available below (or include on page in brief with key points).
- Understanding Christianity is a major resource from the Church of England to support the teaching of Christianity in RE. Our diocese provides training to help schools use this resource effectively.
