Whole year group RE lessons. Odd?

Just wondering how usual this is.

Secondary school now having 'mass RE'

Basically like an assembly in the hall with whole year group for the hours lesson - run by 1 teacher and is called the RE lesson.

It's obviously acceptable and 'legal' or they wouldn't be doing it but I'm wondering if it's really going to be a decent level of RE education and if it's worth doing RE at all this way?

Is the whole school doing it this way?! Definitely not acceptable. Really hope it’s not usual, anywhere. None of the high schools I have experience or knowledge of do it this way. It should be staffed and timetabled just like any other subject

What year group? They are obliged by law to teach it ao I guess its more a tick box exercise and if they do gcse they will be taught it separately.

Presumably they can’t staff it. I would be concerned and would be questioning the rational with the head of re.
