“The role of RE and interfaith education in schools is central to building a cohesive society. I am proud to support our educators as they foster not only knowledge, but also the values of tolerance, respect and understanding. These are the values that will help children build confidence in their identity and will help them thrive in our diverse country.”
Lord Khan of Burnley
COMMUNITY:
TOGETHER WE SERVE
​
​Inter Faith Week 2025 will run from
9th - 16th November.
​
Our theme for 2025 will be Community: Together We Serve. This initiative is a strand of Inter Faith Week 2025, delivered in partnership with national interfaith organisations, with funding from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
​
This page is designed, with expert RE partners, to help you celebrate IFW in your school. Whether you're an experienced teacher of RE, a teacher with another specialist, or you want to mark IFW in another subject: we have resources, events, and competitions for you. ​​
Celebrating IFW with your young people will contribute towards:
-
Your statutory duty to promote Community Cohesion
-
Celebrating diversity within your school and local communities
-
Exploring pupils’ individual identity and shared humanity
-
Developing and strengthening your school values, ethos and community
-
Building stronger links with your local communities
-
Your statutory duty to promote the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development (SMSC) of your pupils.
How can we help?
