Early Careers Distinctivness Programme

£450.00

This programme offers insight into key areas of Christian distinctiveness within church schools. The morning sessions, delivered by Jen McIlveen and Ali Rice are open to all of our church schools’ Early Career teachers, supporting them as they begin their career in a church school to understand the daily impact of living out the school’s Christian vision. They will deepen their knowledge and skills across aspects of justice and spirituality in the curriculum and collective worship, discovering how church schools deliver education in a distinctive way.

Family of Schools members will benefit from a discount price of £225 for the 1st ticket and £150 for 2nd and 3rd tickets.  All discounts are applied at check-out.
