What is religion?

February 2024

What is religion? Despite this idea being at the heart of our subject, the word is not always defined in teaching material. In our Resource of the Month for February we are pleased to offer a teaching resource by RE adviser Ruth Marx.

Ruth’s resource is a complete scheme of work, designed for KS3 but can be adapted. It contains videos, lesson plans, information and activities. Hou will find lots here to stimulate your pupils’ understanding and allow them to explore how the phenomenon of ‘religion’ can be classified and understood.

You will find the entire resource here:

‘What is Religion?’ Unit of Work

Booklet to support the learning

Explainer videos for teachers and students
