- degree in Philosophy from Manchester University. During my time at secondary school I received very little Religious Education and left Year 11 with limited knowledge of world religions. At sixth form I took Philosophy and Ethjics A level which aroused my interest in BIG questions. My teacher, Ms Smith, was a great influence on me. She encouraged me to think about issues I had never really considered before. At university I studied Philosophy and this opened my eyes to a whole new world. I had a great interest in philosophy of religion and found the arguments for the existence of God fascinating. Also the idea of moral values trouble me, but I still love the problems that are raised. At Manchester I made friends with people from all different faiths and backgrounds. This made me realize how my limited RE knowledge could very easily be a catalyst for ignorance and discrimination. I wanted to become an RE teacher to help ensure future generations appreciate and enjoy the diversity of religion.
