a meeting 1-2 times a term, twilight sessions that are free, and a
way any teacher can access training/CPD on RE training.

It is vital
there are wider stakeholders to ensure RE remains broad, varied and
with a vision moving forward. Within the steering group, LTLRE work
closely with Higher Education establishments, Marjons, University of Plymouth and different
dioceses’ to ensure steering group members are given a
breadth of understanding.

been supported in the past by St Lukes
Trust, who donated grant money towards the annual cost of
£900.00 to run LTLRE.
