Catriona Card

I am an Early Years teacher and RE Subject Leader at a 3 form entry Primary School in North Lincolnshire. After training as a Nursery/Infant teacher I have been an RE Subject Leader for most of my teaching career and have taught in EYFS for many years. I completed a Farmington Fellowship in 2001 and an MA in RE at the University of Warwick from 2002 to 2004.
I have a particular interest in RE in the Early Years and my research is focused on this area. I am researching using an age-appropriate disciplinary approach to teaching RE to children aged 4-5 years (the Reception year in English schools). Exploring what is meant by age-appropriate, what is meant by a disciplinary approach and what an age-appropriate disciplinary approach for young children might look like. I then intend to assess the effectiveness of this approach.
