Issues for Church schools

There are many RE Centres, from the very large (see Resources) to the small. They do need to be used and supported.

Guidance

For addresses of small local centres write, phone, fax or email one of the larger centres in your region or contact your Diocesan Board of Education.

Challenging areas

There should be none. They are all willing to help and support. Note, however, that opening times will vary, so always contact the Centre before your visit.

FAQs

What help can I expect?

Most centres will have staff who can show you a range of resources for RE. Some will have staff who can give advice on teaching and learning in RE, and on Church school issues.

When are they open and do they loan?

Ring and ask, opening times vary, some are open 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year, others not.
