RE Performance Review

The latest research

The Religious Education Council of England and Wales (REC), the National Association of Teachers of Religious Education (NATRE), and RE Today Services have researched the current status of RE across the UK. Drawing from a wide variety of sources, they have produced the most comprehensive report on RE in the last five years. 

The report, which was published in 2021, showed some important findings, including:

  • A 50% increase in A-level entries for Religious Studies (RS) since 2003, beating Geography and History
  • Higher Attainment 8 scores than average in schools with higher rates of entry for GCSE RS
  • 46% of academies without a religious character have reported an increase in time to teach RE

However:

  • Almost 500 secondary schools are still reporting zero hours of RE provision in Year 11
  • Around 34% of academies are reporting no timetabled RE*
