A VILLAGE school has received a 'gold' for its teaching of religious education.

Eardisley Primary School is the only school in Herefordshire to have received the gold standard RE Quality Mark (REQM)

The award recognises high quality RE, particularly those schools which are providing their learners with authentic experiences and contributing to whole school outcomes.

The RE Quality Mark has two purposes: it recognises good practice in RE and also provides a powerful tool for development.
