Great to have been a part of this project with Culham St Gabriel’s and good to be able to share my thoughts and reflections. NATRE

#PrimaryFocusWeek: Why should every headteacher secure RE in their curriculum? Senior leaders share how it builds respect, breaks down barriers, and helps create inclusive, thoughtful school communities. NATRE #TeamRE

Great start to #PrimaryInConversation with words from Liz Manning. She shared examples from a year 1 class who used drama to explore the story of Matthew the tax collector, which helped them to make their own interpretations of biblical scripture.

#PrimaryInConversation John Semmens gives a fascinating introduction to integrating philosophical ways of learning into #primarylessons , using a Socrates doll to encourage children to see other perspectives.

“It’s wonderful in here!” – Emma Turner FCCT on primary teaching. Primary educators must think really carefully about the "landscape" they create for children. The aim, Emma says, is to inspire a lifelong love of learning. #PrimaryinConversation

Thought-provoking words from Ruth Flanagan - RE is one of the most complex and exciting subjects, so why is it often neglected in schools? Also an interesting look into her research on the personal worldviews of teachers

Now hearing from Saima , who was previously on our Leadership programme. She talks about challenging pupils with difficult terminology, fostering a "word consciousness" and how this helped to create a stronger foundation for future learning

RE provides a change of pace and a change of space. It is "uniquely human", and an initiation into a very particular form of human knowledge. Religion has always been at the heart of civilisation, says Emma Turner FCCT

"RE is obviously the most important subject", says Ruth Flanagan Rapid globalisation and the proliferation of extremist ideologies means that inter-religious understanding is more crucial than ever. Ruth says dialogue is the second step but understanding ourselves is the first

What a brilliant #PrimaryInConversation! A special thanks to Fiona Moss for hosting, and to our wonderful panel of experts. If you weren't able to attend, we'll be posting a recording of the event in the coming weeks. NATRE

Loved Culham St Gabriel’s #PrimaryInConversation event. Emma Turner FCCT shouting out the wonder of Primary, Ruth Flanagan on the necessity of RE Saima beautiful etymology on windows, John Semmes Socrates Dolls. Primary is amazing! #TeamRE

🎙️ Why is #PrimaryRE essential? "For pupils in primary school, RE sparks curiosity and nurtures empathy. It helps them to see the world through different lenses, ask questions, and think deeply about their own views", says primary RE advisor Taranum Afshan.
