- degree in religion and Theology from Manchester University. My first experience of RE came from secondary school where I was captivated by the freedom of the subject. I really enjoyed the fact that RE contained a mixture of half factual/rights and wrongs content and half your own opinion. At secondary school my teacher, Mrs Clarke, really inspired me because she tackled relevant issues, modern issues as much as relating them back to history. I was successful at RE at school so I studied it at Manchester University as Religion and Theology. Here I focused on Christianity, History and Europe. Through Manchester Uni I took part in the Student Associate Scheme in Stockport. I was lucky enough to have been placed with an amazing History teacher who was a real inspiration to me. I could see what I wanted to be in twenty years time! I feel I have constantly chosen RE through my life because I was always in search of resolutions to BIG questions but I like exploring them with others plus young people seem to have the most interesting opinions and perspectives.
