Resources

Please note: resources (DVDs, exemplars, web links etc) are suggestions for teaching and learning NOT THE AGREED SYLLABUS. We have made every effort to represent a balanced and inclusive view but, within the numerous denominations of each religious tradition, there will be a range of opinion.

Exemplar teaching materials
Exemplar Schemes (Primary) and Units (KS3) of Work have been developed by practising teachers.
The schemes of work for Y1-Y6 have been developed reflecting a spiral curriculum. Therefore the intention is that year group material is not seen in isolation.

This section shows which Dispositions have teaching resources available, for each Key Stage and Religious Tradition.

The teaching resources include lesson outlines/plans and units of work.
