Diversity in the RE curriculum

George White emphasises the importance of religious education in promoting understanding and respect for diverse cultures and religions. He also discusses the need for actively listening to the whole school community, seeking to understand the collective and individual experiences within school.

George talks with Rachel Higginson about the importance of curating an inclusive school environment, involving people from different faiths and backgrounds, and using storytelling to foster empathy and understanding. Watch the session here.

The Big Ideas in Religious Education

Liam Walker talks with Steve Willshaw about the big ideas behind the RE curriculum in his school, the thinking that went into deciding on these and the processes that he lead his department through to enable these ideas to become manifest in the department’s curriculum.

Joanne Harris then distinguishes between the key disciplines that are part of RE (philosophy, theology, social sciences) and big ideas. She explains the different big ideas that underpin her school’s curriculum and the importance of the RE curriculum having a conversation about these topics and the importance of there being diversity of approaches to meet local needs.
