Attainment 8 data shows that pupils who study RS GCSE perform better overall in all subjects than those who don’t do RS. Disadvantaged pupils score significantly higher.

@Kath_FranceRE Whole class feedback and also peer marking using a detailed criteria - we encourage a lot of self marking too - eg.students must check own spelling of key vocabulary they must highlight it if spelt correctly and if not correct it in red pen #REChatUK

[Mrs Coley @GemColey]

@CatrionaCard For every topic we have a list of tier 3 words with symbols that represent each one and a definition - we then refer to them each lesson and use retrieval practice to embed their knowledge and understanding #REChatUK

[Mrs Coley @GemColey]

@Kath_FranceRE @CatrionaCard Once there is some secure knowledge in relation to the theme being covered in the lesson then -Mini whiteboards to plan thoughts / ideas - leading into small group discussions, followed by whole class - then writing #REChatUK

[Mrs Coley @GemColey]

@TheREPodcast1 @josephkinnaird @Kath_FranceRE @CatrionaCard Love using etymology to help students understand words - really important to help contextualise how the word links to what they are learning #REChatUK

[Mrs Coley @GemColey]

@Kath_FranceRE @CatrionaCard You can use it when discussing statements as found in the GCSE spec #REChatUK

[Mrs Coley @GemColey]

@JenniRaw @CatrionaCard We’ve worked a lot on reading - using guided reading approached and really love the 3 D’s method that @josephkinnaird shared #REChatUK

[Mrs Coley @GemColey]

@Kath_FranceRE @CatrionaCard Yes I agree with you - oracy is so important in RE. I like the ABCQ method - agree, build, challenge, question #REChatUK

[NATRE @NATREupdate]
