CCEA GCSE Religious Studies specification encourages students to develop an enquiring, critical, and reflective approach to studying religion. Students explore and engage with important questions about belief and respond to them personally. This can enhance their spiritual, moral, and cultural development, helping them to contribute to social cohesion. Students also develop key transferable skills, such as considering different viewpoints and expressing their opinions to influence others.

GCSE RE is exam based. You complete one exam in Year 11 and one exam in Year 12.

GCSE Religious Studies is a gateway to many areas of employment.  The qualification is counted as a key contributing subject for jobs in education, law, the medical profession, and government bodies, to name but a few.
