Framework RE is designed to deliver the new National Framework for Religious Education at Key Stage 3. The 3 books (one book for Years 7, 8 and 9) combine to create a motivating activity-based course for pupils. Book 2 is aimed at Year 8 pupils. The course includes the Literacy and Thinking Skills strands of the Key Stage 3 Strategy; differentiated activities; Assessment for Learning; activities and assessments linked to the 8-level scale; philosophical and ethical issues in preparation for Key Stage 4; opportunities to reflect on personal experience; and religions with a significant presence in the UK and world.

A key stage is any of the fixed stages into which the national curriculum is divided, each having its own prescribed course of study. At the end of each stage, pupils are required to complete standard assessment tasks. KS3 covers school years 7, 8 and 9, and ages 12-14 years. KS4 covers school years 10 and 11, and ages 15-16 years.
