Schools and departments need to assemble a range of study support activities and materials for both pupils and teachers. It may be possible to set up a resource centre within a school that is available to different groups of pupils at different times. Pupils should have access to:

• reference books for research;
• authentic source materials for learning;
• information books about topics;
• other materials to enhance learning and enjoyment of RE, including videos.

See the 'Help your child discover' website (DfES) for activities in:

religious buildings

religious festivals and celebrations

religious symbols.

Teachers need a range of resources on which to draw when planning lessons and tasks for pupils. The intranet or internet, CD-ROMs and other computer programs are a valuable source of information, ideas and resources for enhancing the teaching of RE. See Using ICT in RE (PDF, 975Kb).
