Time Allocation
There are no prescribed allocations of time for RE. In 1993, Lord Dearing produced his final report into The National Curriculum and its Assessment (1993) making some recommendations which assume appropriate time allowances for RE, for practical purposes these are widely recognised as 'markers'.
| Key Stage 1 | 36 hours per year |
| Key Stages 2 and 3 | 45 hours per year |
| GCSE RE Short Course | 70 hours of study |
| GCSE RE (full course) | 140 hours of study |
| Key Stage 4 | 5% of total curriculum time |
