About Verity Education
Every resource on this site is written by one person — a teacher and school leader with more than thirty years in classrooms and leadership teams across the UK, Europe, Africa and Asia. Nothing here is outsourced, templated or generated in bulk.
Who writes these resources
Verity Education is written and run by Adrian Scarlett — a UK-qualified teacher (QTS, PGCE in History and Religious Education) with an MA in Religious Education and Catechetics from the Maryvale Institute. Adrian spent seven years as Head of RE, PSHE and Citizenship at a Catholic secondary college in the UK, and later served as Curriculum Director at a Catholic international school in Paris, where he led a successful CIS/MSA re-accreditation that returned no recommendations on teaching, learning or curriculum.
His leadership career spans headships and senior roles in the UK, France, Germany, China, Nigeria, Morocco and Zambia — including founding an international school and growing a secondary school from 61 to over 700 students. Throughout all of it he has kept teaching: RE, RSHE and PSHE, Citizenship, History, Geography and Cambridge Global Perspectives, from primary through to A Level.
Why the subjects on this site
Every subject line here is one Adrian has taught or led himself. The Catholic RE scheme is grounded in the same theology he studied at postgraduate level and taught for decades. The RSHE units are written by someone who has actually stood in front of a Year 10 class and taught them. The Citizenship, Global Perspectives and character resources come from years of delivering exactly these lessons — not from a content team working to a brief.
Safeguarding and SEND
Adrian is a Designated Safeguarding Lead at Level 3, current with Keeping Children Safe in Education, with casework experience across UK and international settings — including leading a UK SEMH provision serving looked-after children. The safeguarding notes written into the sensitive lessons on this site come from that experience, and it is also why SEND-adapted versions exist as a systematic product line rather than an afterthought: pupils with additional needs deserve properly adapted materials, not a font-size change.
What “resources you can trust” means
Verity means truth. In practice it means three commitments: resources are curriculum-faithful (written against the actual frameworks — the Religious Education Directory, the statutory RSHE guidance, the National Curriculum — and honest about their unofficial status), complete (a unit means decks, plans, knowledge organisers and assessment, not a deck and a wish), and accurate (subject content a specialist would stand behind, including teaching other faiths respectfully and correctly).
