Skilled teachers make a difference to the lives of those they teach. This teacher training course is designed to enable you to become a qualified, passionate teacher of Religious Education in Secondary schools.

 

We encourage you to embrace the professional qualities and attributes that successful teachers need, including:

• the ability to inspire, engage and motivate learners in your subject
• a commitment to inclusion and your pupils’ wellbeing
• impeccable personal and professional conduct, and
• the ability to reflect on your own progress and continue to develop.

 

With our support, you’ll become an empathetic and skilled teaching professional who is responsive to the needs of all pupils. You’ll have a positive impact on those you teach – from the beginning of your training within schools.

 

Help your students understand the world and their place in it

 

Explore fundamental questions about Religion and Worldviews.

In our increasingly globalised and connected world, our Religious Studies PGCE takes an open and exploratory approach that’s designed to fully prepare you for teaching Religion and Worldviews in a multicultural context.

 

The study of the method and practice of teaching of Religious Education, secularism, different cultures and philosophy is an integral part of the programme. You’ll attend lectures, seminars and workshops, and give presentations to your peers. You’ll also have the chance to listen to visiting speakers and to make connections with local faith communities to enhance your own learning.

 

Alongside developing your subject knowledge, your time in placement schools will equip you with the planning and organisation skills needed to be a successful RE teacher.
