Resource Library
How to search for RE resources?
- Filtering options on the left-hand side of this page.
Search by keywords: e.g. 'Eid', 'Easter' etc...(hint: use broad keywords instead of being too specific).
- 'Generic Filters' on the left helps you find all the resources within this website search by e.g age group, religion, or resource type.
- 'Publication Type' enables you to find resources linked to all REtoday magazines and Curriculum books.
- All filters can work together.
ALL resources can be found in the resource library below BUT we also have dedicated areas where you can find the same resources in different ways.
- REtoday magazine and Curriculum books - search by sections within each book
- Themed resources - e.g. Anti-racist RE, Veganism as a worldview, Spirited Arts
- RE Today Primary RE Curriculum area - Ready-use lesson plans
