Time allocation
• "In the Foundation Stage in Reception classes, a reasonable amount of time should be
allocated to RE. `Reasonable' may be estimated by reference to the key stage
allocations.
• The Dearing Report (1993) on the curriculum recommended the following allocation of
lesson time for religious education in Key Stages 1 - 4:
Key Stage 1 36 hours per year
Key Stage 2 45 hours per year
Key Stage 3 45 hours per year
Key Stage 4 5% of curriculum time
The Conference has devised the syllabus to make full use of this time.
• The time may be used flexibly, but it will be important to ensure that progression and
continuity in pupils' learning are maintained."
