Religion and Worldviews. REALLY?
Do you know that the current extensive promotion of Religion and Worldviews by major resourcers and providers of RE has no Government support and it is not a part of Government policy?
The Department for Education does not advise schools on what the content of their RE curricula should be, nor does it endorse the National Content Standard and views it in the same way as any other curriculum-related document produced by a non-statutory body i.e. it is a view shared by some key RE stakeholders which schools may form their own opinions of, but the NCS requires no particular action by the DfE.
See the REN response to the National Content standard on the News and What’s On page, and Professor Keith Ward’s article.
