Leadership Scholarship Programme

The Leadership Scholarship Programme is a two-year funded programme designed for emerging Religious Education (RE/RVE/RME) leaders who are already working across a MAT, local area, region or in a national capacity. The programme provides opportunities to expand and deepen reflections on educational leadership in religion and worldviews education through tailored mentoring, structured challenges, research insights, and inspirational networking events. The programme develops leaders in four key areas: research engagement, curriculum engagement, political engagement, and classroom engagement. Participants receive 12 hours of one-to-one mentoring support per year, participate in a Community of Practice with four virtual meetings annually, and engage in research reading groups. The programme includes completion of Culham St Gabriel's short courses, blogging, presenting at conferences, and conducting research projects. Participants are expected to share new knowledge with professional groups, attend policy meetings, and contribute to national publications. The programme aims to help participants find their voice as leaders within the religion and worldviews education community and shape a leadership community for the future.
