WHAT WE DO
The Farmington Institute offers scholarships to RE teachers in secondary schools, those responsible for RE in primary schools, teachers of RE to children with special educational needs, and also to headteachers in moral, ethical and religious education.
OUR HISTORY
The idea of the Farmington Institute was conceived in the Second World War when the Hon Robert Wills was serving in the Grenadier Guards. He made up his mind that if he lived through the war he would do something to make the world a better place.
ANNUAL CONFERENCE
The Annual Farmington Conference is held every June at Harris Manchester College in the University of Oxford, where the Farmington Institute is based.
