Almost a dozen Mentors, Lecturers and consultants were able to attend the RE Subject Network’s recent twilight session held at Byrchall High School.

We were privileged to have the input of Emma Mcvittie who explained how her ME! resource was helping pupils develop spiritual literacy in both primary and secondary settings nationwide.  This was followed by a general discussion of good practice from around the partnership led by Gill Robinson of Rose Bridge High School.

Waqaus Ali spoke to us about the work of ThinkBrite Services who can lead Inset for staff, provide visitors to schools or create a tailored day visiting a local Mosque.  Edge Hill Students have benefited from Waqaus’ expertise for many years.

Gill concluded the evening with some national updates, around many issues including the RE Council’s consultation report on the proposed New National RE Framework.  It was a while before people left, though, as people spent time with our visitors exploring the possibility of doing further work together.

The date of the next twilight is provisionally set for  28th February at Rose Bridge High School.
