RE in the New Ofsted Era: Visible, Valued or Vulnerable? I’ve spent the last few weeks reading new-style Ofsted reports in my spare moments, usually with a cup of tea and a growing spreadsheet.

New substack:
I spent weeks reading 160 new Ofsted reports to see what they’re really saying about RE.
Spoiler: there’s opportunity and risk πŸ‘‡

Looking forward to an inspiring day at Strictly RE today. Haven’t been to many conferences in the last year and have missed them. Very fortunate to have a SACRE who funds tickets for local teachers who want to attend.

Fantastic and very poignant welcoming words from
@katiekatie84.bsky.social‬ to #StrictlyRE. "We stand in a moment where we can make change happen for our subject."
Collaboration, humility, and shared hope for our subject is so important as we move forward together.
