Teachers

"Those who can, teach" is the slogan for the Teacher Training Agency's successful campaign (www.canteach.gov.uk) to attract more applicants to the profession. Teachers are the key to a school's achievement and they deserve to be recognized. The late Cardinal Hume said not long before he died that if our society valued teachers as it should they would be rewarded as well as doctors or lawyers.

So this section is for teachers, those thinking about becoming teachers, and governing bodies of church schools thinking about their responsibilities for teachers.

Please note that information about particular subjects is to be found in the Schools/Curriculum section of the site, and detailed information about employment issues will be found in the Schools/Management section.
