InspiRE is the first Key Stage 3 course that lets you to teach RE both thematically, and/or, by religion, giving you the flexibility to deliver lessons however you want.
InspiRE comprises two parallel sets of books: Religions to Inspire, seven 'by religion' books that exemplify the themes and expands them from the points of view of the major religions of Great Britain; and Themes to Inspire, three books, one for each year of KS3, that cover the National Curriculum programme of study through an exploration of thematic issues and concepts. The flexibility and customisation that this approach offers teachers and syllabus designers is unique.
Religions to Inspire: Sikhism provides an in-depth and comprehensive exploration of Sikhism today, looking at questions and issues such as: 'Who was Guru Nanak?', 'What does Sikhism teach about human rights?' and 'What is the role of the Gurdwara? '
Key features:

- Provides guidance and support for teachers in the Teacher's Resource Book to help you plan, teach and assess learning.
