RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Many aspects of life in the 21st century are affected by religion. Therefore a study of religion is both appropriate and essential to education. Our aim is to provide a framework in which pupils may be well informed and objectively reflect upon their beliefs and the beliefs of others. It is our wish that this will complement the religious or moral education pupils receive at home or in their local faith community. Religious Education is part of the curriculum for all pupils in Years 8-12. In Key Stage 3 pupils follow the Core Syllabus from the Department of Education. Their study is divided into 4 sections, entitled the Revelation of God, The Christian Church, Morality and World Religions. As well as Christianity, they learn about two world religions: Judaism and Islam. In Key Stage 4 both Religious Studies GCSE and Religious Studies GCSE (Short Course) are available. AS and A level Religious Studies are also available in the Sixth Form. The department currently uses the CCEA examination board for all of these external qualifications. In order to enhance the classroom experience we have some outside speakers from time to time. Mrs M Wilkins
Head of Religious Education Department
