Whole‐class strategies in Religious Education

This journal is always keen to hear of practical examples of the ways in which mainstream teachers are developing teaching approaches responsive to the diverse needs and learning styles of their pupils. In this article Nigel Fancourt outlines some of the strategies in the teaching of Religious Education which have been adopted in one large comprehensive secondary school. Particularly interesting is, firstly, the notion that curriculum subjects can themselves have ‘special needs’ and, secondly, the extent to which the ideas are discussed in a whole‐school context.
