Editable and ready to use

The collection includes editable Word and PowerPoint resources alongside print-ready PDF versions where appropriate. This allows teachers to adapt wording, task length, font size and response expectations for individual pupils.

Created by Verity Education, this complete SEND RE bundle provides a consistent approach across Years 7, 8 and 9, helping departments reduce planning time while giving pupils meaningful access to high-quality Religious Education.
