Hope your day went well! . And that reference is so bittersweet: I remember vividly the be try conversation with the wonderful, late, Dawn Cox.
Pre-reading for our curriculum Inset Day @astreaacademies tomorrow & love this quote - "Every teacher thinks that their subject is special. We know ours is". Also noting that 15 years into teaching, I'm still learning from @knowledgerich! Looking forward to a day of thinking RE.

The real point is that due to current legal arrangements, there’s a very unfortunate trade off. Also, to my mind, it’s counter to the history and tradition of some schools of a religious character that were founded to improve education for all in the nation. 5/.

And, in such a two-sub-sector scenario, the Section 48 inspectorate (or equivalent appointed inspectorate in the case of academies) continues to inspect, not Ofsted 4/.

As I understand it, Catholic Education Service not opposed to a national content standard (NCS). But there’s nothing statutory at the moment. In finding some share agreement around a NCS, it’s possible without realising fears of state appointee determining Catholic content. 3/.

Instead, it’s the absence of EITHER nationally-agreed content OR a statutory basic standard for subject quality that leads to lots of variability in what pupils get in RE, in the worst possible sense. 2/.

Thanks for engaging, though there’s no need to speculate what I ‘really’ mean. As I’ve said elsewhere: whether or not RE should be included in the national curriculum is just part of the issue. 1/.
I wish the educators pushing this would have the courage to say what they really mean. For schools such as mine, a non-Catholic, government-appointed ‘expert’ would be dictating the content of Catholic RE and inspecting it via Ofsted.

Thanks for engaging! . Though I agree, whether or not RE should be in Nat Curric is just part of the issue. It’s the absence of either nationally-agreed content or statutory basic standard that leads to lots of variability in what pupils get in RE, in the worst possible sense.
An excellent piece from @knowledgerich on the essential nature of RE in the curriculum and clear national standards .…and I would add a place in the national curriculum @culhamstgabriel @NATREupdate.

📣New post!. 👡Time for Cinde-RE-lla to go to ball?. 🧩Religion today is complex. Intelligent RE prepares pupils to engage. 🌍Curriculum diversity? RE is inherently diverse. 💭RE injects wisdom, sensitivity & reflection into world asking BigQs: eg AI💻 & living well together🖖.
🛐 Religious education has such an important role to play in helping young people to understand the world – but it will only fulfil its potential with clear national standards, says @knowledgerich.
