Logos RE is a web site that is dedicated to supporting Catholic Religious Education through ICT.  It will will eventually span KS1 through to KS5, although at present the GCSE and A level areas are the most developed. The site is geared for RE in Catholic schools however the site also aims to support any RE programme.

Most of the site is now on-line and it will continue to grow and develop over the months and years.

 For teachers

Its aim is to provide resources for teachers such as schemes of work, exemplar lesson plans, worksheets and so on. It will eventually support the main programmes of RE used in Catholic schools such as ‘Here I am’ and ‘Icons’.  It also supports GCSE, ‘A’ level and General RE in the 6th form. It is hoped that it will become the national resource for Catholic Religious Education on the web. Logos RE also offers INSET for RE teachers. Logos RE is also in the process of developing on-line lessons and resources for independent learning.

 For students

It will also provide activities for pupils that can be used by them at home and in the classroom.

The site will incorporate the Iconstoo web site that has already been created to support the Icons programme of Religious Education. This site is already up and running and contains information for teachers as well as activities for students. It is focused primarily on year 7 at the moment but it will have material for year 8 & 9 as the material is developed. This site also welcomes contributions for teachers.

 This is a non-profit making project and we need contributions from RE teachers to make it a really worthwhile resource. We would welcome any worksheets, activities, useful links, lesson plans, schemes of work, liturgy ideas and so on.

 Any contributions of worksheets/ schemes/ fact sheets etc can be made by post to
