À propos de ce contenu audio

Welcome to What Even Is RME?, the podcast that gets to the heart of Religious, Moral, and Philosophical Education. Join us as we step into the real-world classrooms of RME teachers and pull back the curtain on this often-misunderstood subject.

Each episode, we sit down with passionate educators to debunk the myths, break the stigmas, and have an honest conversation about what actually happens in an RME and RMPS classroom. This is more than just a chat about religion; it's a deep dive into the big questions, the unexpected lessons, and the invaluable skills we're teaching our students.

Whether you're an RME teacher looking for new ideas, a student curious about the subject, or a parent trying to understand the curriculum, this podcast is your guide to understanding the true purpose and power of RME.

You can follow along on social media @LearningRMPS and if you are an RME educator looking to get involved in the research you can find out more here- https://learningrmps.com/2025/09/03/what-really-happens-in-rme-a-new-national-survey-for-scottish-teachers/

    Welcome to Episode 8!


    I can't quite believe we've hit this milestone already with even more episodes recorded and waiting in the wings! A massive thank you to all my listeners for your continued support and for validating this crazy idea of mine.


    This week, I’m thrilled to be joined by the brilliant Orlaith Payne from Strathclyde University. We’ve worked together on the Curriculum Improvement Cycle group, and she brings incredible passion to our subject, alongside a fantastically dry sense of humour.


    In this episode, we dive into:


    How the PGDE course prepares student teachers for the classroom and helps them defend the RMPS subject.


    Ideas for supporting primary students, including excellent resources from the Scottish Bible Society.

    Creative ways to use Bluey and Bingo to help teach RME.


    Orlaith's top three tips for mentoring and supporting student teachers in your department.


    Head over to the website to read the complete show notes! You'll find direct links to the Scottish Bible Society resources, the Bluey Instagram post we mentioned, and more information on Strathclyde University.

    What Even is Primary RME? with Chantelle Boyle
    Feb 6 2026

    Join us for a deep dive into the world of Primary RME with researcher and teacher Chantelle Boyle. From her PhD research on teaching moral issues to the practical power of "Dilemma Discussions," Chantelle shares how RME skills can be woven into almost any primary topic, even starting with something as simple as Newsround.

    We explore why these "tricky conversations" are vital for young learners and offer practical tips on where to find the best classroom resources.

    Note: Please bear with us for the first two minutes of audio; the sound quality improves significantly after the introduction!
