Early Career Teachers (NQT / RQT)

    This programme is essential for all new teachers, whether starting a teaching career in a CofE school or community school. The recent OFSTED RE research report and the ECT framework are clear on the essential nature of subject knowledge CPD. RE is often a subject that teachers feel less confident teaching and this programme of CPD will improve both RE subject knowledge and confidence. If you have attended these sessions previously, it will still be relevant to access the sessions below this academic year.

    • The Intent of The RE Curriculum, Thursday 16th January 1-3.30pm 2025, online
    • Subject knowledge in RE/Religion and worldviews, Thursday 8th May 2025, 3.30-5.30pm, online
    • ECT’s are also encouraged to access the webinars outlined in our CPD document.

    Fee per year: £60 / £120 (per school)
