• Each lesson is written with locally agreed syllabi in mind and will complement a large variety of schemes of work. The plans are flexible and adaptable by teachers. Much of the content will align with many agreed syllabi, so even if the key question is not an exact match, there will be strong links in vocab, content, and sequencing.
• As a school, you may wish to use your current agreed syllabus and match the units to the themes that you find within it.  If your Agreed Syllabus features Understanding Christianity, or you as a school choose to use this, you will find many lesson plans that link to this planning tool.
• Of course, as an academy or a VA church school, alongside your governing body, you may choose to write your own Agreed Syllabus, in which case, you may choose to use RE Today Syllabus B and use these materials to complement what you are already doing.  These resources give many options, are flexible, and will challenge your pupils in their RE learning journey.  If you want to ask more specific questions about your school or context, do get in touch with us directly at advisors@retoday.org.uk
