NATRE gears up to champion Religious Education at this Autumn’s Party Conferences.

The National Association for Religious Education (NATRE) is once again heading to the Labour (27th-30th September) and Conservative (4th-7th October) Party Conferences this Autumn to press for the importance of Religious Education (RE) in English schools. As the Curriculum and Assessment Review led by Prof Becky Francis advances, any proposed changes to RE will be presented to Members of Parliament—especially the majority who represent the Labour Party—to make the final call on RE’s future.

Here’s how you can help:

Find Your MP or Councillor
– Visit the UK Parliament’s “Find your MP” page
– Select your MP and feel free to use resources below to get in contact.

Reach Out Directly
– Email or message your MP via their social‑media accounts.
– Clearly introduce yourself as a constituent.
– Personalise and send our template letter to explain why high‑quality, well‑resourced RE matters to you and your community.

You can also find a short briefing paper, detailing items that your MP may wish to discuss with our team. One for Conservative MPs and one for Labour MPs.

Please keep us updated with any communication you make with your MP on the this link.

Your voice makes a real difference. By securing meetings and sharing your views, you’ll help ensure that RE remains a vital part of the school curriculum. Let’s show MPs that Religious Education deserves their full support—both in Westminster and in classrooms across the country.
