A full day, in person session for those that are new to working in a Church of England school (including ECTs). The day will explore the aims of RE in a C of E school, and what is meant by the concept of balanced RE. Different practical approaches for teaching high quality RE will be shared.
The background and history to collective worship in UK schools will also be explored, with an explanation of the Church of England’s vision for collective worship as inclusive, invitational and inspirational. Practical approaches to planning and leading collective worship will be included.
The day will also provide a clear understanding of the statutory requirements and an introduction to the implications for SIAMS.
