Meetings and Courses

Out of school courses
Each term there is a coordinators' course for Church Schools:
- Autumn – RE subject leaders
- Spring – Collective Worship co-ordinators
- Summer – RE subject leaders
These are held in three different venues across the county so that teachers from any part of the Diocese are able to attend. They last for an afternoon starting with lunch which is an important feature as it helps to form links and friendships between schools and it values the course participants.
