Conference Summary
• Is RE changing in your school and are you concerned that RE is not
having the impact you would ideally like to see?
• Are you looking to move RE in your school from Good to Outstanding?
• Do you need help to feel secure that you can recognise, deliver and lead
others in knowing what outstanding teaching in RE looks like?
The RE Conference: From Good to Outstanding can provide the solution!
This year we are delighted to welcome Alan Brine HMI National Adviser for Religious Education who will
be sharing with delegates an Ofsted perspective on RE in schools and where, how and why progress is still
necessary. The highly acclaimed RE Today team, Lat Blaylock and Fiona Moss will also be present and
taking a lead in the RE Conference delivering key notes as well as vibrant and challenging workshops.
Delegates will also have the unique opportunity to meet Andrew Ackers the Head of Social and Religious
Studies at The Bankfield School. This school was recently featured in an Ofsted Good Practice Case Study
for RE. Throughout the day delegates will explore key improvements in curriculum, planning, teaching,
learning and assessment that will help to move RE forward in their schools. With an inspiring key note
address and a selection of seminar sessions for both primary and secondary delegates this promises to be
an outstanding CPD opportunity for RE Practitioners!
