Source to Summit
is a brand new KS3 course, comprising student books and digital Kerboodle resources, that have been cohesively planned to ensure full compliance with the new Religious Education Directory (RED).
Series editor, Andy Lewis, and a writing team of practicing teachers have drawn on their expertise and classroom experience to present the new curriculum in a way that students will be able to understand and remember.
Mirroring the structure of the RED, there is a strong narrative telling the Christian story from Creation to the Church today.
Lessons are carefully sequenced, and content presented in accessible and vividly designed spreads. There are opportunities for students to engage with scripture, and a wide range of case studies and examples help bring alive the Catholic faith.
Activities on each spread explicitly allow students to develop skills to understand, discern and personally respond to the material they encounter.
Through a range of tasks with accompanying guidance, students will be able to demonstrate their progress over time in a structured way.
This course seeks to be authentic to the Catholic faith, rigorous and engaging, allowing students of all faiths and backgrounds to be fully immersed in the curriculum in an inclusive way.

Reviews for Key Stage 3 Religious Education Directory: Source to Summit Year 7 Student Book
Source to Summit is well considered, well presented and the systematic way in which it presents in terms of its compliance with the RED is very reassuring for teachers. I feel a real confidence that this is a high quality resource; accessible in different ways for all students. I am very excited to be using the Kerboodle resources and for our students to access to them. Having access to the images and illustrations from the textbook is a fabulous way of ensuring that there is consistency across departments. The illustrations are beautiful and link the work and themes so well that being able to use them for posters/ PowerPoints/ booklets etc. will be of enormous benefit to teachers and students. The presentation of the ‘engaging with text’ questions and commentary sheets are clear, providing that window into our own explanations. This is something that I am particularly keen on seeing our students use. * Julia Smith, Assistant Headteacher & Teacher of RE, Holy Trinity Academy, Telford *
