Overview

Program Description Address all aspects of secondary religious education teaching, and learn from experienced religious education teachers and specially trained mentors with the PGCE Secondary Religious Education. This Postgraduate Certificate Education (PGCE) Secondary Religious Education (RE) course leads to the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), qualifying graduates to teach the 11-18 age group in secondary schools in England and Wales. This course explores secularism and non-secularism education. Students will consider the purpose of religious education in schools, exploring topics such as morality, philosophy, ethics and logic. Students will have the opportunity to visit places of worship to explore how these buildings can be used in teaching, but also to engage in dialogue with people of different faiths, particularly in the local areas in and surrounding Reading. The University of Reading is lucky to host guest speakers from both the local area and further afield across the country – the Humanist UK Society, the County Inspector Adviser for Religious Education and speakers from a number of faiths including, Buddhism, Christianity and Judaism. In the Secondary PGCE course, students are required to carry out three placements in two different age groups - ensuring they receive a broad range of experiences. Two placements must be undertaken in a school setting but the third can be taken in a different setting - allowing students to sample teaching in an alternative environment.
