About KS2 Religious Education
Key Stage 2 Religious Education helps children in Years 3-6 (ages 7-11) learn about beliefs, values and traditions from a range of world faiths. Our quizzes are written by teachers and designed to make learning active, clear and memorable, with instant feedback to support understanding.
RE at KS2 is not about telling children what to believe. It helps them ask thoughtful questions, learn accurate vocabulary and understand how beliefs and practices shape lives, communities and celebrations.
What This Section Covers
This section introduces major world religions through short, focused quizzes. Children can explore key ideas and festivals in Hinduism, learn about Jesus and Christian worship, understand the Five Pillars in Islam, and consider Buddhist teachings such as mindfulness and compassion. Revisiting quizzes over time helps pupils remember key terms and make careful comparisons.
How These Quizzes Support Home Learning
Parents can use one quiz at a time to start a calm conversation. Ask what your child noticed, what was similar or different to another religion, or what a festival might mean to a believer. These small discussions help children build respect and understanding alongside factual knowledge.
