THE TEAM

We're a friendly bunch!

“I’ve been Principal Teacher of RME at Paisley Grammar for 15 years. Random fact - I was born in the middle of a cyclone in a small island in the Pacific ocean. My favourite topics to teach are anything really that I can see causes a pupil to pause and look like they've just had a profound thought! I love teaching N5/Higher Philosophy and RMPS. Every element of these courses interests me greatly. I also love teaching core RME classes. The Abrahamic Religions course is my current favourite, although I never get bored of the S2 'Universe' topic either.  I also love a good school trip! Trekking in Uganda, Whitewater rafting down the Nile, a Safari in South Africa, zip wiring 200 feet above a river in ESwatini are just some of the highlights of the job!"

Mrs Kerr has been working in Paisley Grammar for since qualifying as an RME teacher. Over the last six years, she has also been working within pupil support and is the pastoral teacher for Iona classes. Mrs Kerr enjoys teaching a wide range of topics, but is particularly drawn towards morality topics, such as Capital Punishment. Mrs Kerr is also extremely interested in educational psychology, which ties into her role as PTPS - "I love teaching RME".

"I've been a member of the RME department here at PGS since 2018, and my working days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. I have a passion for every area which RMPS covers, but if I had to choose I'd need to say my favourite courses to teach are The Island  and Morality in the Movies - these topics in particular sparks great discussions across classes and pupils become so engaged in the lessons. That's what RMPS is all about! I also have a particular love for Philosophy, and over the last two years I have been developing and teaching S3 elective courses in Early Learning and Childcare within the school".
