Headteachers’ Conference: A world class education in an awe inspiring universe
Professor David Wilkinson will draw on his doctoral research in theoretical astrophysics, exploring the study of star formation, the chemical evolution of galaxies and terrestrial mass extinctions, and combine this with his research in systematic theology, in inspiring us with the magnitude, magnificence and mysteries of the universe, and the implications of all this for education. The rest of the God and the Big Bang staff team, Matt Pritchard, Sarah Moring and Steph Bevan, will then deliver a second session on applying the principles David’s presentation about in schools. Academy leaders, including Stuart Burns, CEO of DRET, will share some examples of world class practice from across their academies. Finally, Fiona Moss, National RE Adviser, will explain what a world class education would look like in the context of RE and how the awe inspiring nature of the universe is reflected in the teachings of the world’s major religions, as well as addressing related matters about SMSC and flourishing spiritually.
