The RE-Hive Project, led by South Gloucestershire SACRE and the Diocese of Bristol, aimed to embed high-quality Religion and Worldviews education across primary schools using a peer-led model. Thirteen lead teachers supported colleagues in clusters, boosting subject knowledge and confidence. The initiative aligned RE with school improvement strategies and strengthened networks via SACRE, LTLRE hubs, and diocesan links. Highlights include 17 school-based “mini-dives,” two Interfaith RE days with 62 schools, and increased engagement with REQM, Teach:RE, and NATRE’s Primary 1000. The project empowered emerging RE leaders and offers a replicable model.
