Over
the last 10 years RE has grown from 228.4 thousands
to 469.2 thousands and is now the largest entry
subject for subjects which are non-compulsory for examination entry.
The acheivements of students at all the higher grades are higher
than those for most other subjects.
This
is an amazing acheivement from subject leaders, teachers and students
and the GCSE RE Site would like to add its cogratulations to all
these groups. |
