Understanding Christianity
This is a substantial resource to support the 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 their understanding of Christianity, as a contribution to their understanding of the world and their own experience within it.
We observe the faith calendar throughout the school year to give our pupils a wider understanding of faiths and celebration.
