Teacher Notes The first unit builds on previous study which includes religious expression through art work – there is a possibility that some students have a limited understanding of this. The second unit needs to be taught sensitively so as to reflect local, national and global links and issues. As this subject is a core subject area to a Church of England school it is important that the ethos of St Aidan’s is explored within the unit.
