Make your ENTIRE Year 8 Religious Education Directory scheme inclusive — all six branches — in one download.

Built directly on the Catholic Education Service’s official RED Guidance for SEND, this companion drops in alongside the lessons, plans and decks you already teach. It covers BOTH groups you must plan for:

Pupils with SEND but no EHC plan — adaptive-teaching scaffolds mapped to the EEF’s five evidence-based strategies.
Pupils with an EHC plan — sensory, multi-modal Engagement Model planning following the CES’s own exemplar.

Same ambitious content. Lower barriers. Adaptive teaching, not “bottom-group” worksheets — supports are faded as pupils grow more independent. The sensitive Year 8 topics (suffering and the Passion; death and resurrection; encountering Buddhism) are handled gently, hopefully and respectfully.

WHAT’S INCLUDED — for all SIX branches (Creation & Covenant: sin, freedom & conscience; Prophecy & Promise: the prophets & the Messiah; Galilee to Jerusalem: the Kingdom of God; Desert to Garden: suffering, the Passion & forgiveness; To the Ends of the Earth: resurrection & hope; Dialogue & Encounter: dialogue & meeting Buddhism):

SEND Teacher Guide (Adaptive Teaching) — the EEF’s five strategies, lesson by lesson.
Scaffolded Pupil Workbook — all 7 lessons per branch: word banks, sentence starters, writing frames, cloze, sorting & matching, “I can…” self-checks.
Simplified Knowledge Organiser — plain-English, dual-coded, dyslexia-friendly.
Engagement Model Planning (EHC pupils) — sensory, multi-modal grid.
7 SEND-adapted lesson decks — one idea per slide, clear LOOK / THINK / DO / CHECK routine.
“Start Here” overview + single-school licence.

That’s 30 documents and 42 adapted decks across the whole year — a complete Year 8 inclusion toolkit.
