Religious education is a fundamental subject in the education of pupils in England. It helps build young people’s understanding and appreciation of different beliefs, practices and religions, and how these relate to the modern world.

"Understanding different beliefs and cultures is an important life skill. As an RE teacher, I am able to open hearts and minds and help make children better global citizens."
