The ability to understand the faith or belief of individuals and communities, and how these may shape their culture and behaviour, is an invaluable asset for our students.
The lessons learnt in religious studies prepare students to grasp the complexity of a multi-religious, multi-secular world and reflect on their own beliefs and worldviews in light of others.
I Completed a BA (Hons) Degree in Applied Theology from University of Chester followed by a PGCE from the University of Warwick. I started teaching at Shireland in 2015 and became Head of Religious Studies in 2020. I am passionate about students engaging with different worldviews/ belief systems and having the opportunity to reflect on their own beliefs. I believe the need for high quality religious study is vital in a highly complex, global society where students will likely encounter a myriad of viewpoints different to their own.
