About this resource

16‑19 RE Units – Ready‑Made Lesson Materials for Post‑16 Religious Education is a collection of ready‑made teaching units specifically designed for Religious Education in sixth forms and further education settings in the UK, as part of the Dare2Engage project. These units offer structured lesson plans, enquiry questions, suggested activities, and assessment ideas that align with high‑quality, enquiry‑based RE pedagogy. Each unit focuses on key themes including religious diversity, ethical issues, philosophy of religion and contemporary social debates, making them ideal for engaging students aged 16–19 in critical reflection and discussion. Teachers can adapt the units to suit different student interests and prior learning, embedding debate, research tasks and extended writing to support depth of understanding. This resource helps RE departments save planning time, ensure progression across topics, and meet statutory expectations for post‑16 RE provision. Whether you teach in a mainstream school, sixth form college, or alternative provision, these units provide practical, student‑centred content that enhances curriculum delivery and supports rich learning experiences.
