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.

I’m looking forward to speaking at #StrictlyRE for @natre-update.bsky.social on 31st January about the non-examined KS4 curriculum I created for Inspiration Trust.

It’s an ambitious, diverse, disciplinary and scholarly curriculum that has been tested in real classrooms - & we talk assessment!

Rethinking Assessment in RE: A Social Sciences Approach I have previously written about our non-examined Key Stage 4 program, which takes a disciplinary and scholarly approach, building on students’ prior learning at KS3.

Ahead of my talk at @natre-update.bsky.social #StrictlyRE on our disciplinary non examined KS4 RE programme, I am sharing blogs that link with the project.

This one is about assessment and the social sciences.

Really looking forward to presenting with @debbiere.bsky.social at Strictly RE next month & to attending some great sessions for my own CPD. I’m sure the Sikh panel will help me to understand diversity within Sikhi, the previous Christianity & Islam panels were really helpful for this.
