“The new Explore RE resources are superb...the books are well written and I love that a lesson is one simple two-page spread. For non-specialists in particular the online resources are brilliant, the lesson plans are detailed and the PowerPoints are clear and simple in design. I’ve really valued the mapping of hidden knowledge needed for GCSE and the exam board specific guidance...and I really like how all the leg work of identifying assessment and mapping it through the course has been done.”

Head of Ethics, Philosophy and Religion, Birchwood Community High School
