Human Sexuality & Religious Views (AQA Theme A) - Lesson 2

This engaging and thoughtful lesson introduces students to religious views on human sexuality, including diversity of belief within and across faith traditions. Learners explore how different religions understand sexuality, how attitudes vary, and how beliefs influence behaviour.

The lesson is designed for Year 10 Core RE, but aligns directly with AQA GCSE Theme A and helps build foundational understanding for later exam content.

This lesson follows Lesson 1: Introduction to Relationships and Families, as confirmed in the slide sequence.
