We have information on becoming an RE Teacher, including a recording of a webinar which took place on 27th March 2023 where current RE teachers shared what its like to have a career beyond the ordinary and the different routes into teaching. You can find all the information here.

We have three courses designed for Primary ITE students and ECTs. These courses are free. Students will study by themselves, with a peer or as part of a group to supplement any RE input received on training. The courses could be monitored by a course tutor or mentor, or managed individually.

The courses provide initial, essential information about the subject and signpost future avenues of support and research. They are designed to complement the RE/ Religion and Worldviews input beginner teachers receive as part of their teacher training.

The three courses are:

1: Introducing a religion and worldviews approach

2: Teaching and Learning for Primary Beginning Teachers

3: Subject knowledge for Primary Beginning Teachers 

Culham St. Gabriel’s funded a project to investigate what could be creatively and successfully taught and learned in 12 hours’ provision for primary beginner teachers. The result of this project was a practical toolkit for ITT tutors. The toolkit is currently under review, in the meantime we suggest you signpost primary beginner teachers to our e-learning courses Primary Beginning Teacher Courses 1, 2 and 3.
