World religions covered
Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism. Plus the philosophical and ethical themes (beliefs about God, the problem of evil, ethics, worldviews) that anchor KS3 RE.

Strands of study
Believing (what religions teach), Behaving (how religious people live their faith), Belonging (community, worship, sacred places). The standard tripartite framework used in most Agreed Syllabuses.
