Religious Education Resources FAQs

Which religions do your resources cover?

Our RE resources cover the six main world religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Hinduism) as well as non-religious worldviews.

Are your resources suitable for mixed-age classes?

Yes, many of our schemes of work are designed specifically to be taught in mixed-age classes, and are created to be suitable for a phase, rather than a year group. However, any of our schemes can be easily adapted to be taught in a mixed-age class, thanks to the differentiated activity ideas provided as standard. With a wide range of abilities and learning styles, it’s easy to simplify or extend learning as needed within your class.

Can I use these lessons in a faith school?

Absolutely! Our RE lesson packs are designed to be suitable for teaching both within faith schools and non-faith schools.  

What if I’m not confident teaching RE?

The comprehensive nature of our RE lesson packs is perfect for teachers who are less confident in delivering RE in the classroom. All the information, guidance and resources you need are provided for you, meaning you can pick up and teach outstanding RE lessons without having to do any of the preparation yourself. Our RE lessons are designed to be taught by both experienced teachers, ECTs and those with less confidence in teaching RE as a curriculum area.
