Really looking forward to presenting with @debbiere.bsky.social at Strictly RE next month & to attending some great sessions for my own CPD. I’m sure the Sikh panel will help me to understand diversity within Sikhi, the previous Christianity & Islam panels were really helpful for this.

Since 2003, RS A level entries have grown by 34.8%. In recent years entries have dipped but remained relatively stable. In England the number of students taking the subject at A level was 14,268, a fall of 1.6%. In Wales the number of students taking A level RS increased by 5% to 737.

The number of students taking Religious Studies at A-level has remained stable at 15,005, with only a slight decline of 1.3%. Teachers report that a growing interest in life’s big questions is driving interest in the subject. ⬇️ @sarahfcg.bsky.social #TeamRE #Worldviews #religion
