The report also found pupils are being taught by staff who aren't experts.
It's claimed one in four schools is breaking the law by not teaching religious education to its GCSE students, even if they don't sit an exam in it.
A survey has also found many secondaries are cutting back on specialist RE teachers, leaving pupils to be taught by staff who aren't experts in it.
Rosemary Rivett, Executive Officer of the National Association of Teachers of RE told Premier's News Hour about her concerns.
A Department for Education spokesperson said: "Our new curriculum ensures RE will remain a compulsory subject for every pupil until they leave school."
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
