Abstract	Participants in our online survey were asked to describe the relationship between science and RE departments/subjects in their schools by choosing one of five options: • Collaboration • Conflict • Dialogue • Independence • Integration Research shows that religion and science can often have a complementary relationship. How, then, might secondary teachers work to build more opportunities for dialogue and collaboration between two related subjects?
