So, what is it like working in a Catholic School?

Online Formation during Pandemic: a project in partnership with Redemptorist & the Dioceses of Plymouth & Salford

An online approach to training and formation for teachers and support staff. Whether you are a practising or lapsed Catholic, practice a different faith, or are not religious at all, the Catholic school system can sometimes be a bit confusing. These sessions deal with some of your possible concerns. Issues covered include getting to grips with the Catholic language and ethos, thinking about the curriculum you can offer and what do we mean by Catholic Social Teaching?
