How to use the materials

The agreed syllabus provides clarity the aims, time allocation, breadth of study and expected learning outcomes for Religious Education in Hertfordshire maintained schools and as such is the basis for medium term planning, and is not the same as a scheme of work. It is the responsibility of the school, using the non-statutory support materials provided and accessed from this website, to design an appropriate curriculum for their pupils that meets the requirements of the agreed syllabus and to develop meaningful learning experiences for their pupils.

Artefact boxes

As part of the Hertfordshire locally agreed RE curriculum, Hertfordshire Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education (SACRE) has purchased a series of resources for Hertfordshire primary schools to borrow and use. The boxes include artefacts from the following religions:

  • Buddhism
  • Christianity
  • Hinduism
  • Islam
  • Judaism
  • Sikhism
  • Holy Books and Prayer

Each box comes with a list and with a memory stick with explanatory notes and suggested lesson plans to assist teachers with the delivery. Schools are able to borrow a maximum of two boxes per academic year for half a term.

These is no charge to schools for borrowing these resources. For further information including how to book the boxes please see the catalogue:
