Religion, Philosophy & Ethics

In Religion, Philosophy & Ethics pupils will be introduced to what religious belief is all about. The subject is taught in one lesson per week, and students will develop a wider knowledge and understanding of the six major world religions.  Students are encouraged to explore and explain their own ideas and opinions, and to listen to other people’s beliefs. The work they cover in Years 7 and 8 will form the foundation of the GCSE Short Course in Religious Studies, which they will follow in Years 9 and 10.
