The Lancashire Agreed Syllabus for RE has 3 strands of subject knowledge concerned with teaching about Christianity: God, Jesus and Church. These should be taught as three distinct RE units in each year. The RE skills should be developed throughout the year in all aspects of the RE curriculum and in the three strands of teaching about Christianity.

Although the three strands are to be taught distinctly, they will also contribute to a holistic understanding of the beliefs, values and living religious traditions of Christianity. As pupils progress, they should increasingly be able to make connections from across the strands.
