St David's Catholic College, Cardiff and St Mary's University College are working in partnership to provide a valuable professional development opportunity for teachers in who live and/or work within reach of Cardiff.
Instead of you having to travel to St Mary's in Twickenham, we bring the course to you! The course will be of value to all who hold leadership roles at all levels and to those who aspire to further progress their career within all phases of Catholic education. See main leaflet and/or website for details of this highly regarded postgraduate course. Welsh language Information leaflets are also available on request.
Those who are currently involved in this programme at St David's really enjoy the sessions and the opportunity to gain new ideas and to discuss issues and challenges associated with contemporary Catholic education with fellow professionals, in a supportive environment.
Mixing taught sessions and independent learning
In between the St David's campus-based sessions, which balance input with lively discussion, you will be invited to study independently with interesting on-line activities and tutorial support. You join an online community that brings together colleagues studying the course in other parts of the country.
Induction Evening - Wednesday, November 2nd - 6pm at St David's
You are welcome to attend, without obligation, an introductory seminar for Module 1 - Catholic Education to gain a flavour of what is involved. You can meet the tutors, previous graduates and explore the resources, including the online facilities. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

"The instruction provided at each of our 'tutorial' sessions stimulated discussion and made each of us present think about why we do what we do, and how we can improve as leaders and learners. By reflecting on concepts and practices such as collegiality, servant leadership and distributive leadership I have been able to gain a deeper understanding of how we can take Catholic education forward to become even stronger and more successful than it is today." (Primary Deputy, Cardiff)
