These resources have been designed for Key Stage 2 and 3 RE.
Some of the resources are available using two different Bible translations, the CEV and the NRSV, so that you can choose the version which is more suitable for your students.
The CEV (Contemporary English Version) translation has a lower reading age and uses simpler language than the NRSV (New Revised Standard Version), so we recommend it if you’re using these resources with KS2 or lower KS3, less confident readers or students for whom English is a second language. The NRSV is more suitable for confident readers and more able students.
For most of the themes the same content is available as a PowerPoint and as a printable pdf.
