Taranum Afshan

I am based in London and work part-time as an RE Advisor for the London Borough of Newham. Alongside this, I am a member of the Senior Management Team at Ranelagh Primary School.
I applied for the Leadership Scholarship programme to strengthen my leadership skills and deepen my impact in Religious Education. As an RE Advisor and a member of a school senior management team, I am keen to develop my strategic leadership in order to champion high‑quality, inclusive RE across diverse school communities.
My passion in Religion and Worldviews education lies in supporting pupils to explore big questions about meaning, belief, and identity. I am particularly committed to ensuring RE is inclusive, academically rigorous, and reflective of the diverse communities we serve.
