Yes - I have been CRB'd independently by Westminster School, MPW (yearly for five years!) and Westminster Abbey!

Where and with whom did you train?
During my PGCE at the Dept. of Education Studies at Oxford University I underwent teaching placements at Larkmead School in Abingdon and Pimlico School in London.
