Free lessons from RE lessons online
This subscription site, which uses video and music as the basis of lesson plans, has a number of free lessons. If you don’t already subscribe to this site, I would thoroughly recommend it. I have used lots of their lessons (adapted to my own classes of course) and have found that students really respond to the u se of video clips etc.

I’m sure you will all have found this site already, but for some reason I had forgotten all about it - having refound it I decided to put the link here just in case!
The site has collections of articles written by Christian doctors especially for GCSE and A Level RS students. Take a look, if you haven’t already seen it.
