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 Stages 2 and 3 45 hours per year
GCSE RE Short Course 70 hours of study
GCSE RE (full course) 140 hours of study
