Thank u all for your support! An hour long meeting later, I’m confident the work we do shone through. For any PSHE leads in schools expecting a call, this may or may not help you! These were the main questions I can remember!

#TeamRe I'm looking to make our yr 9 arguments for the existence of God unit less Christian-centric next year, including more arguments from Islam. We do Aquinas/cosmological, Paley/Design, Problem of evil and theodicies (The Fall, John Hick, Job, etc). Any ideas?

A bit embarrassed to admit my knowledge of Islamic philosophy is a little lacking!

AQA RS teachers, is the 16page answer booklet for the themes paper in the public domain? Cant find it. Would like to know exactly what students get in front of them to replicate. Do they write the question numbers in and then their responses? Any help appreciated! @TeamRE_UK

I’ve been quiet on Twitter recently… after 5 years teaching (and 9 years of living) in Kent, I’m moving to London to start at a new school in Camden in Sept. I’d love to connect with any RE buffs/school leaders/organisations in the City! Recommendations please @TeamRE_UK 🙏🏻😊

I didn’t realise I was in imminent danger… do M&K know something I don’t?

Having to cancel a sports day for a strike is absolutely heartbreaking. But better to do it this year, once, in the hope that we don't have to permanently cancel them once we have no teachers and no money to rent premises.

I heard this recently, and I’ve been thinking about how often I operate as if perfection is the only worthy pursuit. Dont let fear stop you from working on something and succeeding with a good, albeit imperfect, outcome. Life isn’t all or nothing. Useful for students I reckon.

Getting back into listening/reading for subject knowledge. Recent trip to Greece made me realise the gaps I have in my understanding of Eastern Orthodoxy. Thoroughly enjoying @kairosbutterfly on @TheREPodcast1 who’s a wealth of knowledge. Nice to put a voice to a name too! ☦️💭

Me constantly to non-RE colleagues ‘Worldview’ and ‘World views’ have completely different meanings and yes it does matter that we use the former.

The head of Ofsted declaring that an Ofsted inspection only impacts upon the most senior staff in schools just demonstrates that she has literally no idea how either schools or inspections operate. #BBCLauraK

Easter in the Greek Orthodox Church… Phenomenal experience and like no Easter celebration I’ve ever seen back in the UK.

I’d never been in an Orthodox Church before. A trip to Athens and that’s changed! The beautiful icons and liturgy has made me realise how Western my understanding of Christianity is and how comparatively little I know about the Eastern Orthodoxy. Must do better and read up 🇬🇷
