Conference on 21st Century RE for All

30 years after the introduction of a national curricular entitlement for all pupils, the religious education syllabus is still decided locally by committees of faith representatives, or worse, by religious bodies responsible for running faith schools. In many cases RE retains aspects of confessionalism and is often inspected by faith groups.

There are some great examples of best practice and many in the RE community are calling for reform, but barriers remain. This one day conference will explore the future of religion and belief education in schools, and how we can create a truly balanced and non-partisan approach.

The event will be of interest to RE teachers, educationalists, school leaders, secularists and anyone with an interest in improving education about religion and belief in schools.
