Please note: websites are subject to change, so we take no responsibility for their content - and you should always first check out the suitability of any website for yourself, before using it with pupils.
The Stapleford Centre
An excellent source of professional support, advice and training, providing a range of resources, and the sharing of distinctive Christian thinking about educational issues.
Re:Quest
A high-quality cross-denominational primary source about what Christians in the UK do and believe today. Each section on a Christian denomination was written by a member of that group.
Bible for Schools website
The King James Bible Trust has been established to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible which was completed in 1611. Their school resources are excellent.
BibleGateway
An online tool for reading and researching scripture in a variety of languages and translations. Readers can find & compare particular passages in scripture based on keywords, phrases, or scripture reference. Very useful for anyone studying the history of the Bible in English, or any other language - but do keep an eye out for American spellings.
British Library - Learning sacred texts
The British Library's superb website allows you to investigate a range of important sacred texts. Their 'Turning the Pages' exhibit enables pupils to 'turn' and examine closely the pages of the Lindisfarne Gospels and other scriptures.
REonline
A portal site, providing information for all those working and interested in Religious Education, with many excellent links to a range of materials. See especially their helpful guide to places of worship.
The Assemblies website
High-quality, instant access primary and secondary school assemblies for teachers and others leading collective worship.
Worship Workshop
A project created by the National Society, The Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) and the Liturgical Commission. It aims to empower and enrich the practice of worship in our schools. A very good way in to planning Collective worship in primary schools.
NATRE
The National Association of Teachers of Religious Education is the subject teacher association for RE professionals in primary and secondary schools and higher education, providing a focal point for their concerns, a representative voice at national level and publications and courses to promote professional development.
TES - Times Educational Supplement
Lots of RE teaching resources from the Times Educational Supplement, created and shared by other teachers.
REEP
REEP provides unusual and thought-provoking resources for teachers and learners promoting the link between world religions and the environment.
