to their understanding of the world and their
own experience within it."
This website describes itself as a "toolkit for teaching about Christianity in RE". The RE:QUEST section contains secondary resources and the RE:START section contains resources for primary and SEN pupils. There is also a section for teachers.

This website aims to "provide teachers with the resources necessary to teach accurate, high-quality lessons about Humanism and to assist them with the development of their own subject knowledge, in order that every young person has the opportunity to learn about Humanism". It contains a wealth of high quality resources for pupils at all key stages.
