What our students say about the courses:
“The Faith in Schools course has fitted in very well with my work as primary schools co-ordinator [for a Christian schools’ work project]. It has enabled me to validate my work within the educational context and gain a broader perspective on issues that teachers, young people and educationalists face.”
“Working as a minister to two large secondary schools I have found the content of the course [Faith in Schools] stimulating and relevant. The course is extremely well-led and managed and the whole experience has been a tremendous help in my ministry.”
“The distance learning nature of the Stapleford course [Religious Education] meant that I was able to fit study round the demands of teaching, church commitments and a young family. The most valuable element was the practical nature of the residential. The opportunity to discuss approaches and methods of teaching RE is a privilege for the often isolated RE teacher.”
