The Way, the Truth and the Life
Autumn Term 2023
All primary schools within the Diocese use The Way, the Truth and the Life (WTL) programme as the main resource to support the teaching of religious education. This is supplemented by other resources and by regular professional development on creative and engaging approaches to the teaching of religious education. The WTL programme has its own website that can be found here.
The order of units in KS2 has been altered, see the KS 2 outline.
