Scholarship to support teachers of Religious Education

Primary, secondary and special school headteachers and teachers of Religious Education (RE) may be able to benefit from an opportunity to access the Farmington Institute Scholarship for 2020/21.

The aim of the scholarship is to support and encourage teachers of RE and headteachers working on values and standards. 

Scholarships may either be university-based or school/home-based. Teachers who live within a reasonable distance of one of the selected universities or colleges, may be awarded a university-based scholarship (the University of Warwick is one of the selected universities).

Scholars are free to study any aspect of RE they wish, but preference will be given to applicants whose work can be seen to be of direct value to the teaching of RE in schools. Funding is provided to allow the release of the scholar from school and also covers the cost of tuition and essential local travel.

The deadline for applications for the 2020/21 scholarships is Sunday 26 January 2020.

For further information and an application form visit the Farmington Institute website.

The Institute awards scholarships to UK-based headteachers, teachers of RE and associated subjects and has published many papers on moral and ethical issues, philosophy and world religions.
