Transform RE teaching with Understanding Christianity

This is a substantial resource to support your teaching of Christianity in Religious Education. The key purpose of this project is to help all teachers support pupils in developing their own thinking and understanding of Christianity, as a contribution to their understanding of the world and their own experience within it.

We aim to see pupils leave school with a coherent understanding of Christian belief and practice. Pupils from 4-14 years explore the significant theological concepts within Christianity as part of developing their wider religious, theological and cultural literacy.

We seek to support teachers in developing their own knowledge and understanding of Christian theology in order to be able to teach with confidence.
