Curriculum Statement
Religious Studies is about understanding how different communities of people throughout the world, and throughout history, have come to understand the meaning of right and wrong. Students master a number of skills important to understanding the role Christianity has played in shaping contemporary British values, and compare different religions from around the globe, examining their underlying values, expression and spirituality. Students learn to analyse and evaluate different religious approaches to Ethics, including how different faiths see humankind’s relationship to the environment – crucial at a time when humanity faces extinction level threats from Climate Change.
Religious Studeis affords students the opportunity to reflect on and learn to articulate their beliefs using a sophisticated vocabulary of specialist terms, as well as learning to appreciate how – whether they are believers or not – spirituality plays a sacred role in believers’ lives.
