This 20 lessons scheme of work lays out, lesson by lesson, the topics to be covered for the teaching of Hinduism at GCSE Level in the first year (as one of two religions).

In short, this scheme of work covers teachers who: -Want to teach Buddhism as a comparative religion at GCSE level (using the OCR B Specification) -Want a course-design for a secondary/high-school level unit on Buddhism. Each lesson will, in time, have resources to accompany them in our shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/godwin86 We hope to offer every single lesson on this SoW, allowing any R.S. teacher on the OCR B specification to teach Hinduism throughout the first year of the 2-year GCSE course.
