KS4 Curriculum Video - Religious Studies .mp4Course Description
GCSE Religious Studies aims to develop students' understanding of the wider world we live in and how the views held by groups may shape their outlook. Students will study Christianity and Islam in depth, looking at their beliefs and practices, and how this influences the day-to-day living of these groups, particularly in modern society. Students will compare these ideas to those with non-religious beliefs and consider whether these groups are the same or different. As well as the in-depth study of Christianity and Islam, students will also be studying four themes, which cover wider philosophical, moral and ethical issues in society.
