#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.

Libby Ahluwalia shared some absolute gold dust for preparing pupils for A-level RS-related degrees. So generous, clear and memorable, with careful consideration of those who do not have the advantages in life. My top quote: βremember, itβs an application, not a fridge magnetβ. #TeamRE #NATRE

On this morningβs BBC R4 Sunday Programme, a DfE spokesperson said that RE trainee numbers are up β true, due to the bursary theyβve now scrapped!
The rise proves incentives work.
Removing them will undo the recovery.

Today I recruited another trainee, met up with my own PGCE tutor after many years and recorded an interview with an eminent member of the RE community for my 2025/26 PGCE curriculum. I might have lost my school holidays, but am loving my job! #TeamRE
