The new Ofsted Inspection Framework marks a significant shift in focus, shining a much brighter light on non-Core subjects. This can put RE leaders in an uneasy position: in Faith Schools the subject is part of the Core, but it lacks the status of English and maths, and it may now be left behind as schools work to improve their foundation subjects; in non-Faith Schools, RE coordinators must ‘fight for their place at the table’. This three-part on-demand series covers everything an RE coordinator should know.
2019 marked a big shift in Ofsted focus, but it isn’t a move ‘away from’ the core subjects. There is certainly a stronger emphasis on foundation subjects, but it’s important that high standards are maintained in the Core as well. RE has an uneasy position in all of this: in Faith Schools it is a core subject but it lacks the status of English and maths; it may now be left behind in the drive to improve foundation subjects. In non-Faith Schools it has an ambiguous position on the edge of the National Curriculum.
