A year ago, on 30th March 2025, Dawn was tragically taken from us in a car accident. It was a huge loss to us, her friends, to the RE community as a whole, but mostly to her partner Roy. I catch up with Roy to find out what life as been like over the last year. Amoung the poignant moments of grief we also discuss cats, Marakesh decor, bell ringing, the Green party, life after death, teacher pensions and kindness. Roys advice to us all is to be able to look ourselves in the mirror at the end of the day.

What makes this moment even more poignant is we are about to find out whether a consensus has been reached for a National Curriculum for RE - something Dawn campaigned tirelessly for. The joy at this landmark moment is tinged with sadness that Dawn cannot see her dream realised, but her fingerprints will be on each page if it is agreed by the DfE.
