The Emmanuel Project

The Emmanuel Project, produced by the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, is a high quality resource which aids primary schools with their RE teaching. It is written by experienced teachers and uses a wealth of research to enable strong RE learning for the classroom.

In total, there are 51 units available to schools: including units focused on Buddhism, Christianity, Hindu Dharma, Humanism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhi. Each half termly unit has a key question and a key concept and uses the enquiry cycle to help children explore this key concept. 

From July 2025, all of the Emmanuel Project resources will be available online via a subscription model. Each school will receive their own log in, which they are free to share with staff in their school setting. Links and accompanying resources will be checked termly by the Diocesan Education Team. Over a three year cycle, each individual unit will receive a full update so that they are in line with the latest research: starting this year, the Early Years units will be rewritten. We strongly believe that the Emmanuel Project will continue to be the go-to resource for RE teachers and urge schools to sign up to the annual subscription.

Cost:

  • for new purchasers from July - £300.00 which will include the first year’s annual subscription of £50.00, thereafter the annual subscription for the academic year will be £50.00
  • for existing users from July- £50.00 annual subscription
  • If you would like to purchase before July, the cost will be £250.00 and then from July, you will have the option to subscribe to the website for an additional £50.00 for the academic year.
