Our Religious Studies curriculum is reflective of the pupils that we have in our school community. Our intent is to equip learners with the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to positively participate in society and interact with people of all and no faith with respect and dignity.
Learners will explore and evaluate both religious and non-religious beliefs, drawing on Western and Eastern Religions in Key Stage 3 and then focusing on Christianity and Islam at Key Stage 4, and Christianity in KS5. Through the study of the philosophy of religion, religious texts, spirituality and ethics, students will access and articulate their own personal beliefs, values and viewpoints in relation to other beliefs.
The qualities we hope to foster and build during the study of Religious Studies’ are: kindness, empathy, tolerance, resilience, creativity, positivity, integrity and aspiration. We respect all beliefs and work to understand each other more.
We aim to develop analytical and critical thinking skills and clear communication skills to enable them to present a wide range of well-informed and reasonable arguments
