learn? If so, then training with the University of Winchester through

School Direct might be the route for you. We partner with various schools

across the region, offering training in Primary education or a range of

Secondary subjects. You will be based in at least two schools, with

exist? What happens when we die? School students have lots of big

questions - are you up to the challenge of answering them? If you’ve

considered a career as a Secondary RE teacher, you’ll know what an

exciting subject it can be. From world religions, to philosophy, to

consideration of ethical problems, RE teachers tackle the ‘big question’

head-on. You won’t always find the answer, but you’ll help young people

to think about their own views and to listen to the views of others. RE

has the highest number of GCSE entrants (outside of the core subjects)

and is a growing subject. Schools are looking for high-quality, well-

trained teacher specialists. If you are a graduate in Theology, Religious

Studies, Philosophy, or an allied discipline (such as Sociology, Politics, or

academic work. You’ll be placed in at least two schools, gaining
