Islam Staff Meeting / Inset

The Teaching & Learning about Islam inset is delivered as a Twilight session, or if you need more time, schools have booked half or full-day Islam CPD for their staff to cover more content. During the training session, we aim to develop subject knowledge of Muslim beliefs and practices. This includes the five pillars and the six articles of faith. But we often are asked to cover other areas, like Islamophobia, what it means to be a Muslim in Britain today, Diversity within Islam. Training sessions can be delivered at school or virtually over Zoom. We also offer a CPD subscription for primary school RE teachers to develop their subject knowledge by choosing the courses and topics of their choice.
