What we do

We fund people training to become teachers, teacher professional development, and education projects that strengthen teaching in Religious Education and Home Economics, including D&T food and nutrition, and textiles.

Where we came from

The All Saints Educational Trust was established to promote the provision of teachers through higher education, school-centred training, or to invest in the career development of subject leaders through recognised professional development.

To reflect the historic Church of England nature of the foundation of the College of All Saints the Trust may use its discretion to provide awards to organisations that, in collaboration with UK based bodies, work globally to promote the provision of teachers in Religious Education and Home Economics, including D&T: Food and nutrition, and Textiles.
