Education

Bedfordshire Humanists provide School Speakers to speak in RE classes throughout Bedfordshire, and surrounding counties. We are trained by Humanists UK and monitored through feedback from teachers. We have material for any school age, but our talks are most appropriate for years 5 or 6 and upwards. We are happy to visit schools to present Humanism to students, to give assemblies, contribute to faith days, sit on faith panels or provide support to RE teachers. We are also happy to discuss Humanist ideas with students taking philosophy.

You can request a school speaker directly by completing the contact form on the contact us page:

or by contacting Humanists UK.

Humanists UK provides a huge array of teaching materials on Humanism through their website:

and a similar array of materials for providing non-religious assemblies:

Representatives from Bedfordshire Humanists sit on local Standing Advisory Committees for Religious Education (SACREs) and contribute to the local syllabus.
