Teach:RE Primary – An Introduction

This course is designed for Primary Beginner Teachers, NQTs and HLTAs

It has helped me to understand the most effective way to teach elements of RE and where to find additional information on religions to support teaching.

I would say that my subject knowledge has improved and has done so in a range of areas. I also have a greater understanding of how to teach RE effectively.
