- degree in Religious Studies from the University of Kent. My interest in RE was sparked during GCSE years. This was partly due to an enthusiastic teacher but also the subject content. I think it was the first time I realized the importance of religion in everyday issues - looking at moral issues and how they relate to religious belief. This interest led me to take RE A level which had a big emphasis on the Philosophy of Religion. My teacher at A level held my interest in the subject especially with the philosophy side of things. I also had the chance to concentrate on Hinduism. I went on to study RE at the University of Kent where I carried on my interest in the reasons behind why people believe what they do. I have had a small amount of experience working with young people and thoroughly enjoyed it. This love of working with children and interest in my subject led me to apply for RE teacher training.
