okay and here is my ‘sounds like a shitpost but it’s genuine’ UK heatwave tip: if there is a Saxon or Norman church near you, and it’s open, go sit in it. not gothic, they have too many windows, get you some thick stone walls with some high up tiny windows. they stay cold. and you can just sit there

It was my love of the music that lured me in.This book is a great reminder for anyone in leadership to lead with integrity and that our decisions need to have the students we serve at their root.

Agreed! 👏 Such a valuable subject.
☸️ 'We need a secretary of state with the nerve to place foundational knowledge about religions and worldviews within a common framework'
RE must finally takes its place in the national curriculum
Lack of a national framework for the subject is wasteful of years of classroom time and deeply unfair
