Brilliant range of tasks that encourage children to develop meaning and use high order skills; also, activities which are fun and varied – thank you very much!
Year 5 Teacher
Malta
Our children deserve nothing but the best. This is the best! At last an RE scheme that is RE. Thank you for not being afraid to be Catholic. Today's INSET was 'inspired' thank you. I can't wait to teach my next RE lesson. The fruits of this scheme will, I believe, be far reaching. Teachers, parents and others will also be helped by this scheme.
Year 4 Teacher

The in-service today has helped me to see more clearly how to bring RE alive in the classroom and has given us an opportunity to see a wide range of resources and activities. It was fun, interesting and enlightening. Thank you!
Year 3 Teacher

All our children, teachers, parish priest and parents are enthusiastic about The Way, the Truth & the Life Books and the website; children's knowledge has improved; much more RE being taught. The clear steps enable us to teach more about the Catholic faith than ever before.

A BIG thank you for all the child-friendly and teacher friendly resources! This scheme can only draw pupils (and teachers) towards it and into it. It is so beautifully visual, well-structured. The website and varied activities – art, drama, literacy, etc. give us great variety for our lessons.

Well done! A fantastic set of resources that will certainly enhance the teaching of our religion and strengthen the faith of our children. I have used several schemes and this is the best I've seen. Thank you!
