The most amazing panel discussion at @ltlre conference who are currently sharing their lived experience with the delegates. This discussion is sharing diversity and it is also fascinating to hear panelists talking about reflexivity.

Wonderful to hear from Rania a member of the @pcfcd_updates team, sharing her lived experience as part of our @ltlre conference panel. Rania has spoken many times at our school and is the most amazing speaker who the children love hearing from:

@KatieKates_84 talking about the importance of local, national and global RE. Love the idea of how she describes her Hindu dharma unit at primary looking at it through a social science lens to understand context and place. @ltlre #ltlre #teamre #religiouseducation

Liverpool had been so welcoming, a great place to talk about a subject that builds social cohesion and understanding! We had a really insightful meeting with @stephenctimms about RE, discussing bursaries, teacher recruitment and retention. @RECouncil @NATREupdate

Always wonderful to meet with Plymouth MP @LukePollard who is a great source of wisdom, advice and really understands the importance of high quality RE for all pupils in all schools! Thank you Luke! @NATREupdate @RECouncil

Always pleased to attend @EduPolicyInst fringe events.Good to hear about education policy&how it can improve the life chances of disadvantaged pupils. @LucyMPowell says that pupils thrive when they are passionate about learning:At @NATREupdate we know this happens in RE.

[Katie Freeman @KatieKates_84]

@Rachel_deSouza talks about a national picture combined with local knowledge and context supporting our most disadvantaged pupils in schools to thrive. Pupils need a high quality curriculum and well trained teachers to prepare them for the world of work.

[Katie Freeman @KatieKates_84]

A great first day yesterday at the Labour Party conference, representing @NATREupdate and @RECouncil for the RE Policy Unit! Great discussions about the future of our subject, the need for a return of the bursary and what high quality RE can do. More today, do follow along.

[Katie Freeman @KatieKates_84]

As a serving teacher, it is really special to be in a room listening to @LucyMPowell talking about how important our workforce is and that she’s really keen to work with us. We’d love to talk about @NATREupdate and RE with you Lucy!

@JaneHayes691081 @GWRHelp I wasn’t at all suggesting that just that there were elderly people who were seriously unsteady on their feet would could have done with some support and kindness.

[Katie Freeman @KatieKates_84]

Seats booked on @GWRHelp from London to Plymouth…carriages don’t exist, we’ve been packed into corridors with literally no breathing space and trampled on by other people. First class with spare seats and GWR stating that ‘this is nobody’s fault’! Horrendous!
