To mark St Andrew’s Day, the St Andrew’s Foundation for Catholic Teacher Education is launching a brand new blog called The Cloisters. The aim of the blog is to stimulate discussion, debate and collaboration in the area of Catholic religious education, and Catholic education more widely. They invite contributions to the blog from academics in Scotland and beyond, teachers, alumni, students, parents, clergy, and all interested in the mission of Catholic education. Click on the image to visit The Cloisters. There you will find their opening editorial, and instructions regarding how to submit a blog and comment.
