Suky Kaur

Teacher of Religious Studies

Haberdashers’ Adams

Sukhbir began her journey studying Philosophy at the University of Birmingham and pursued a PGCE in Religious Education at Edgehill University. She has been fortunate to have taught for nearly twelve years in three distinct settings; an all-girls school, a state school, and finally in a grammar school with state boarding. All three settings have pushed her to experiment with my teaching style; her passion comes through in the classroom where she combines her love for Philosophy and RS in creative ways.

The teachings and traditions of the Dharmic faiths, in particular Sikhi, have been Sukbir's focus. She has written several articles on Sikhi for RE Today and has recently shared her life experiences via the ECT New2Teaching webinar.

What do you love about RE?

'Our subject is at the heart of what it means to be human; we give our students the chance to question, criticise and create informed judgments. We allow our students to explore the spiritual dimensions they may have taken for granted. We teach them creative ways they can find answers for themselves. Our subject is alive and thriving and part of our DNA.'

What do you love about NATRE?

'NATRE allows me to feel like I am part of something bigger; it is so important we are given a chance to see what obstacles we face as a community and make sure our voices are heard when and where they need to be.'
