<strong>Cranford</strong> Hosts<br />
Annual Hounslow<br />
Sixth Form<br />
RE Conference<br />
<strong>2015</strong><br />
On<br />
Friday 19th June <strong>2015</strong> <strong>Cranford</strong> Community College hosted the annual RE conference for sixth form<br />
students in Hounslow.<br />
All secondary schools in Hounslow were invited to bring sixth<br />
form students to participate in the daylong conference. The day was<br />
hugely stimulating for both students and staff alike, offering excellent<br />
learning and reflection plus great professional development.<br />
The theme for the day was: Is Britain still a Christian Country?<br />
The Keynote Speaker was Dr. Ranvir Singh with closing remarks by<br />
Seema Malholtra M.P.<br />
The conference was sponsored and supported by Hounslow SACRE<br />
(Standing Advisory Council on RE), <strong>Cranford</strong> Community College,<br />
UCL Institute of Education and the EiP RE group.<br />
The day began with a Keynote Speaker, Dr Ranvir Singh, who was<br />
formerly a member of the RE department at <strong>Cranford</strong>. Ranvir always<br />
offers a unique perspective to stimulate minds. He is involved in Religious Studies as a teacher, an examiner, a<br />
teacher trainer, a producer of resources, a member of a faith group, an activist in<br />
interfaith relations, a member of SACRE and as a parent. Most recently, he has<br />
been involved in the curriculum and qualifications review as a member of the<br />
board of the Religious Education Council of England and Wales.<br />
The day included lively, interactive workshops as well<br />
as a ‘Question Time’ style panel, with members of<br />
religious and non-religious belief systems responding<br />
to questions made from the floor. The carousel of<br />
different workshops was run by teachers who have<br />
just completed their PGCE in Religious Education at<br />
the UCL Institute of Education.<br />
RE is currently very much in the spotlight, with Ofsted giving the subject renewed<br />
attention and the current government’s emphasis on the importance of young people<br />
understanding what it means to live in a religiously diverse society and there is also<br />
the opportunity in terms of fundamental British values that these type of events offer.<br />
This annual conference was an extremely worthwhile event and very well received by<br />
all those students and colleagues who attended.<br />
