Just to be clear. It is NOT acceptable to remove students from their statutory provision for Religious Education in ANY school year or part thereof, to provide extra lessons in other subjects. This applies to ALL pupils in state funded schools unless withdrawn by their parent(s).

Let's address the issue of RE Bursaries! 🎓💰 Despite the need for more TRS graduates, the lack of bursaries in RE is driving potential teachers away.
This discourages the best graduates from pursuing RE, leading to a shortage of qualified RE teachers.
