Funding for teachers in the Archdiocese

The Archdiocese has funding available for four teachers to study the Additional Teaching Qualification in Religious Education at Glasgow University.

Margaret Barton, our Religious Education Advisor for High Schools, said: "The Archdiocese wants to support those teachers who want to teach Religious Education in their school.

"By doing so they can increase their knowledge of the Catholic faith and share it with pupils to strengthen and encourage their love of God.”

To apply for the subsidy please email kay.leslie@staned.org.uk for an application form. Find out more about the course here.
