In my role as Ofsted's subject specialist adviser for RE, it is my responsibility to monitor and report on what is happening to the subject in schools. The hope is that as a result of our work we gain a clear understanding of what is working well and what we need to do to improve the quality of pupils experience of RE.What better time to be lucky enough to play a role in developing RE! Religion is back on the map. As Peter Berger said recently ‘The world today…..is as furiously religious as it ever was'. We do not reminding how important it is to enhance young peoples' critical understanding of, and insight into, the realm of beliefs and values.
