This course leads to the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) for the 11-to-16 age range, which qualifies you to be a teacher in secondary schools in England and Wales. Where possible, we also give you the chance to gain experience in the 11-to-18 age range. Religious Education (RE) helps to develop young people's religious literacy so that they will develop an understanding and appreciation of the diverse beliefs and practices found in religions and world views today.
Training to teach RE in London offers you the chance to tackle challenging, thought-provoking topics with young people. You can use your creativity and passion for the subject to develop lessons that help your pupils discuss and answer the most fundamental questions - from belief in God to the meaning and purpose of life. By training as a religious education teacher, you can help your pupils become compassionate young adults, respectful of religious and cultural differences. We are proud of our longstanding practice of supporting non-traditional students. Although many of our students will have a degree in religious studies, we welcome applications from those with a degree in other disciplines, provided applicants can demonstrate a genuine passion for understanding the religious world, and sound subject knowledge of religious and secular traditions. |
