RE Deep Dive and Subject Knowledge Pack

Looking to explore RE in-depth and build confidence about an upcoming RE or RS Deep Dive? Tailored for RE and humanities subject leaders, this bundle helps you to consider intent, implementation and impact questions across the breadth of Religious Education, allowing you to consider areas of strength and weakness so you can plan for improvement and (if you feel you need to) prepare for Ofsted.

Included in the pack:

1. Religious Education (RE) Deep Dive and Subject Evaluation Audit (Primary) - over 100 deep dive questions about RE to ask stakeholders, including senior leaders, subject leaders, teachers and pupils. As religious education subject leader, you can utilise these to reflect on the current picture of RE in your school and explore specific areas, such as the different faiths in your chosen curriculum. Many RE subject leads find it useful to practise them with other leaders to build their own confidence in preparation for a Religious Education Ofsted deep dive.

2. Religious Education (RE) and Religious Studies (RS) Deep Dive and Subject Evaluation Audit (Secondary) - KS3, KS4 and KS5 RS deep dive questions for secondary leaders and RE, RS or humanities department heads to consider. While there is crossover with the primary set of deep dive questions, this resource focuses on secondary RS and RE and includes questions about secondary-focused areas, such as the routes available for pupils who wish to take their enjoyment of RS into further education, employment or training.

3. RE Subject Knowledge Question Bank - content-specific questions for RE covering primary and secondary content, plus religion- and faith-specific subject knowledge questions in Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, Sikhism, Hinduism, Bahá’í Faith, Humanism and Atheism. They’re ideal if you’re wanting to explore the finer details of staff members’ knowledge in the general principles of RE teaching, as well as the subject knowledge needed to teach different religions, faiths and beliefs.

4. Deep Dive Process Overview - use this to structure your internal deep dive in RE, working through the process of identifying your perceived strengths and weaknesses, observation and questioning, and creating a plan of action.

5. Deep Dive Evidence Exploration - a handy place to collate all your observation notes when conducting a deep dive, including observing RE lessons, asking pupils about their learning in RE and looking through workbooks and other evidence.
