Running the department
Description
Fulfilling the statutory requirements for RE and finding the time and resources to really focus on teaching and learning can be challenging. Mulberry School for Girls, an inner city state school nestled in the heart of London's East End was one of the first to make RE GCSE a compulsory subject for all their students. The Senior Management Team has never regretted the decision and the Department has gone from strength to strength. Deborah Weston and Anne Fayter jointly lead the school's department of five specialist teachers. In this programme they share their thoughts and ideas on what has made their department work, and offer advice to non-specialist RE teachers. We follow the Year 9 students on a day trip to a Hindu Temple and then a mosque, seeing the particular value of taking RE learning out of the classroom through the eyes of the pupils.
