George Hayter’s The Marriage of Queen Victoria YR4/LKS2

Explore George Hayter’s The Wedding of Queen Victoria, 10th February 1840 and discover how Christian beliefs and traditions are expressed through marriage. Through this case study, pupils learn about the meaning of Christian marriage, how wedding customs have changed over time, and the influence of culture and context on the way weddings are celebrated.

Designed for Lower Key Stage 2 pupils, this engaging case study builds on Key Stage 1 learning about sacred texts and key Christian beliefs, practices, and traditions. Through exploration, discussion, and reflection, pupils deepen their understanding of Christian approaches to commitment, relationships, and community.

Part of a wider study of worldviews, this resource explores the diversity of Christian marriage traditions across the world, helping pupils recognise both shared beliefs and the variety of ways Christianity is lived and expressed.
