📚Wonderful to be at the @cstvoice.bsky.social annual conference.

🎶Amazing performance by pupils from Wicked 🧙‍♀️ to kick the day off.

😂 (Subtle message of pupils to leaders via lyrics: “unadulterated loathing” and “such strong detestation” 😂) #CSTConf25

@thewayofkueh.bsky.social says we need to see a joined up approach to education. It’s important for the government to set out how initiatives will connect. For example what will be the way that curriculum reform, following the review, will link up with promised SEND reforms? #EducationFest

@counsellc.bsky.social is a rarity in education. Consistently brilliant and ever-insightful.

I’m slightly confused - and very happy to be corrected if I’m wrong - but isn’t that the BBC’s Education Editor featuring in this political party-branded video? @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

Since 2022 when I became a subject lead for Humanities I have discovered just how powerful a rigorous, coherent RE curriculum can be and how much it underpins and complements other subjects. Important words from Richard Kueh here.

RE: the Cinderella subject that needs to go to the ball Religious education is often an afterthought, but it’s a subject that can have a profound, important impact on understanding the world, says this former senior Ofsted inspector

A really thoughtful and well written article by from @thewayofkueh.bsky.social in today’s TES. He clearly sets out the problems of RE as a Cinderella subject, but also recognises the incredible possibilities that come with high quality RE.

RE ‘injects wisdom, sensitivity and reflection into a world that is asking big questions about artificial intelligence, sustainable living . . . climate changes and what it means to live well together’ @natre-update.bsky.social @thewayofkueh.bsky.social #TeamRE www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

Struggled to pick just 1 standout quote from @thewayofkueh.bsky.social brilliant article.
But here it is:
“RE injects wisdom, sensitivity & reflection into a world that’s asking big Qs about AI, the relationship between humans & the natural world, climate changes, & what it means to live well.”

📣New post!

👡Time for Cinde-RE-lla to go to the ball?

🧩Religion today is complex. Intelligent RE prepares pupils for complexity

🌍Curriculum craves diversity; RE is inherently diverse

💭RE injects wisdom, sensitivity & reflection into world asking BigQs: AI💻, climate change🌡️ & living well together🖖

This graph is visually boring, but is completely fascinating to me.

It's the share of people who "believe there is life after death."

It's actually gone UP, just slightly since 1973.

Even as religious attendance and affiliation have dropped exponentially.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

Rest in peace, Dawn. We miss you, so very much.
