The course builds upon KS3 knowledge and understanding of religious beliefs, teachings, and sources of wisdom and authority. This includes the reading of key religious texts, other texts, and scriptures of the religions they are studying.  

RE enables students to have the opportunity to engage with questions of belief, value, meaning, purpose, truth, and their influence on human life whilst reflecting on and developing their own values, beliefs and attitudes in the light of what they have learnt and will contribute to their preparation for adult life in a pluralistic society and global community.

GCSE Religious Studies provides the opportunity to study a truly fascinating subject: it will help the students to debate big moral issues, understand and analyse a diverse range of opinions, as well as to think for themselves about the meaning of life.
