A complete 58-page learner workbook for WJEC Entry Pathways Humanities Unit 6237/E3 – Places of Worship (Entry 3).

This fully resourced workbook supports learners in exploring places of worship through two religious traditions: Islam and Sikhism. Pupils study the mosque and gurdwara, developing their understanding of key religious features, how places of worship are used, why they are important to believers and the wider community, and how visitors should behave respectfully. The unit is designed around the WJEC requirement to study two different religious traditions.

The workbook is designed to be accessible and ready to use with SEND, SEMH, Alternative Provision, Entry Level and FE learners, as well as pupils who benefit from clear structure, visual support and scaffolded written activities.
