#RE has faced decades of neglect, leading to an ongoing shortage of trained teachers and a postcode lottery of provision.

Including RE in the national curriculum is now an opportunity to end this.

@NATREupdate @RECouncil @DeborahWeston #teamRE #reteacher

[ReThinkRE Campaign @ReThinkREnow]

We welcome the recommendation by the Curriculum and Assessment Review to include RE in the #NationalCurriculum.

We look forward to working with the Government and the RE community to shape the future of the subject.

On @BBCR4Sunday a DfE spokesperson said that RE trainee numbers are up — true, due to the bursary they’ve now scrapped!
The rise proves incentives work.
Removing them will undo the recovery.

The government’s Curriculum and Assessment Review presents a perfect opportunity to address the problems of inconsistency in RE, argues @SarahLaneCawte @RECouncil – https://t.co/nNE19Cwyja #curriculum #schools #education #teaching

Wonderful to be at the #LabourConference2025 faith reception & hear @SeemaMalhotra1 talk about the importance of high quality RE for all pupils & how it supports dialogue in communities, breaking down barriers & helping us to understand each other better. @NATREupdate @RECouncil

[Katie Freeman @KatieKates_84]

Another great day at #LabourPartyConference we have had so many positive discussions about the importance of high quality RE for all pupils in all schools. Really pleased to be representing @ReThinkREnow @NATREupdate and @RECouncil

[Katie Freeman @KatieKates_84]

Great to meet with @LukePollard yesterday at #LabourPartyConference always grateful for his support and advice for the RE community. We were able to share local data with him and talk about some of our @ReThinkREnow asks. @NATREupdate @RECouncil @JoanneH_RE

Our wonderful research officer, @DeborahWeston has scrutinised RS GCSE data for England and Wales to help busy Heads of department complete their own analysis. Full report here https://t.co/fAJFBeAyVJ

[Religious Education Council @RECouncil]

RE is valued by employers and parents, yet there is a crisis of specialism in schools.

[Religious Education Council @RECouncil]

A quarter of a million students take a GCSE in RS.

Despite this, half of those delivering the lessons mainly teach another subject.

Discussing the big questions in life is a vital part of young people’s education.

#Worldviews #TeamRE @KatieKates_84

[Religious Education Council @RECouncil]

GCSE RS remains one of the most widely taken subjects at KS4.

249,422 students took a GCSE RS this year.

We urgently need more specialist RE teachers to ensure every child gets access to high-quality RE.
