Understanding Christianity http://www.understandingchristianity.org.uk/

We have actively chosen to use this substantial resource that supports 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.
