Religious Education in UK schools is a rich and varied subject which allows pupils to consider big questions through philosophical, theological and sociological lenses. You will play a vital part in enriching young peoples’ religious literacy and enabling their personal and spiritual development, and you will shape their ability to use philosophical reasoning to justify their own views. Every year we welcome a diverse cohort of PGCE students from all faith backgrounds and those with no faith. You will be encouraged to consider the place of Religious Education within the wider curriculum and the importance of this vibrant subject and will have the freedom and support to develop your own approach to the subject and you own unique teaching style. You will benefit from an experienced subject specialist tutor and highly skilled mentors in our partnership schools where Religious Education is highly valued and well taught.On successful completion of this degree and having met the Teachers’ Standards, you will be recommended for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). All our PGCE Secondary courses lead to the award of a level 7 Postgraduate Certificate in Education.
