what does high ability in RE look like?

- to be able to construct and sustain a complex argument

- to be able to present a sustainable counter-argument

- to be able to appreciate that conclusions might be interim and that one's evaluation of them might change with greater knowledge, understanding and experience

- to have the courage to take adventurous steps in learning

- to be able to use personal experiences and insights in your work
- to be able to raise questions

- to be able to recognise how one subject area relates to other subject areas (e.g. religion and science, religion and history, or religion and art)

- to avoid making generalised statements which you can't support (e.g. 'all christians believe' or 'religion is the cause of all evil')
