What do you love about RE?

'I love the academic nature, diversity, and depth of R.E. Encouraging children to explore and make links with their own and others' understanding of the world is a wonderful thing. I love seeing children form and express their own opinions and ideas whilst taking into account the views of others. There is such potential for learning and exploring in so many different ways.'

What do you love about NATRE?

'NATRE does so much to support a community of passionate and enthusiastic R.E. leaders. They are at the forefront of promoting R.E. in schools and leaders for change within our subject. The resources, course, and termly magazines inspire and reignite passion for R.E. and they promote amazing co-operation within the R.E. community.'
