Activities for Successful Outcomes

NATRE's specially appointed regional advisers for RE in the secondary curriculum have written a series of case studies which answer the three key questions:

What are we trying to achieve?
How do we organise learning?
How well are we achieving our aims?

and thus have developed a set of "compelling learning activities" linking RE to a range of different subjects / ideas and the pedagogies.
