About Me
Chris Giles
Job role: Head of religious studies
Our school: South Bromsgrove High, Worcestershire
A sense of community
As a secondary teacher of religious studies, I’m thrilled for the return of the in-person Strictly RE conference in Birmingham after five years!
Having attended numerous conferences, Strictly RE stands out for its sense of community and the unique opportunity it offers to share ideas in person – which is especially valuable in our sometimes isolating subject.
Spark deep involvement
Strictly RE offers a wide range of seminars for all key stages, along with sessions for senior leaders and SACRE members. In-person engagement in workshops, like storytelling, sparks deeper involvement and professional growth in ways that online meetings can’t match.

Discover what’s new
The conference also features exhibitor stands where you can discover new teaching resources and build lasting relationships.
While online meetings have their benefits, nothing compares to the social and networking opportunities of in-person events. Don’t miss out – book your place today and get an Early Bird discount of £15 for the first 50 registrants! NATRE members receive an additional £25 off.
Strong, long-term relationships
A recent Harvard Business Review survey from 2024 found that 95% of people believe face-to-face meetings are essential for building strong, long-term relationships – something I’ve certainly found to be true!
Join us at Strictly RE on Saturday 25 January 2025 and experience first-hand the benefits of in-person networking and professional development!
