These sessions are designed to enable RE managers to explore, share and develop good practice in RE in their schools. The sessions will focus on helping other staff to understand the cycle of enquiry, know the range of concepts in the Living Difference IV syllabus, create and amend planning for RE and help understand assessment issues across the school. 

Sessions will cover issues according to the needs of the participants, such as: 

• Supporting other staff in school – what is Hampshire RE using Living Difference IV about? 
• Developing schemes of work for RE within a developing, integrated curriculum using the golden threads and an understanding of Abrahamic and Dharmic religions. 
• RE through cross curricular learning. 
• Developing thinking skills in RE, assessing RE and RE's contribution to pupils' SMSC development. 

Applicants are expected to attend one meeting each term for one academic year. It is useful if delegates bring their own planning and RE work to the sessions. The meetings will be held within a local primary phase school. The host school will receive one free place at the meetings. 

Available dates:

28 April 2025 – Virtual 

30 April 2025 – Eastleigh/Winchester 

1 May 2025 – Fareham

This cross-phase conference is for primary, secondary and SEND RE teachers and leaders of RE. 

The conference is to support teachers to teach RE well with Living Difference IV and to gain confidence in representing what it means to live with a religious orientation on life, in the classroom.

We will be hearing from keynote speakers Bob Bowie and Deborah Weston OBE, and we will also be offering plenty of phase specific workshops covering topics such as preparing for an Ofsted inspection, assessment in Key Stage 3, ideas to develop deep thinking in RE, and much more. Not to be missed!

Please see the flyer for more information.
