RE Mat Lead for Inspiration Trust and teacher at Hethersett Academy. NATRE Executive When not being an RE geek I love to travel, read, garden and stitch.
I’m delighted to have contributed the chapter on curriculum to Succeeding as an RE Teacher, edited by Andy Lewis. Looking at the list of contributors, I can’t help feeling I’ve somehow ended up among the RE saints and sages. 📚 You can pre-order from Waterstones with 25% off using the code SUMMER26.
We are getting closer to announcing details of NATRE’s annual #StrictlyRE conference for 2027. Make sure you save the date! #TeamRE
When I started teaching I chased engagement. Now I think the real work is learning from the people whose worldviews we teach, so what we teach is true to how a tradition is lived, not just how a textbook describes it. New substack open.substack.com/pub/rewithmr...

And our final question for tonight’s #REchatUK - share your best strategies for adaptive teaching in RE
The power of story goes beyond RE. Narrative is one of the fundamental ways humans make sense of reality. RE is simply blessed with an abundance of great stories. #REchatUK

S17 E6: The One About SEND in RE
Last year, Ofsted published it's new inspection framework and the word that weaves through everything is INCLUSION. It is now a separate area of inspection. And the list of students we need to include...

Sarah and Nikki these ideas are both so important. I think of my daughter who being autistic hates being spotlighted, but is often thinking despite not saying much... I also think the students would like to vote for me as a teacher who has the 'right to remain silent '! 😜 #REChatUK

Looking forward to an inspiring day at Strictly RE today. Haven’t been to many conferences in the last year and have missed them. Very fortunate to have a SACRE who funds tickets for local teachers who want to attend.
It’s been a very busy January but what better way to end the month than #StrictlyRE. Looking forward to lots of insightful sessions and discussions at this exciting time for the RE community. #NATRE #TeamRE
