The value in an education in Religion and Worldviews

What does it mean to take the lead in Primary Religion and Worldviews? Naila Missous, Year 6 class teacher in Greater Manchester, earned a place on Culham St Gabriel’s Leadership Programme. As part of this programme she took two modules of study, exploring current thinking about leadership, curriculum and the aims of the subject. This month we are hosting an unusual resource, a set of speeches Naila wrote as part of her work. You might never give these speeches yourself (although you might) but we think you will be inspired nevertheless.
In these 4 speeches Naila outlines to 4 different audiences the value in an education in Religion and Worldviews. As you can see there are lots of ideas relating to different aspects of the world of the Religion and Worldviews teacher; connected to children, parents, the wider community and colleagues who lead other subject areas. Use these speeches for your own documents or conversations, or just read them to appreciate the important space we occupy in the curriculum.
