Religious Studies offers a varied and engaging curriculum to all Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9 students.

Students in Year 7 and year 8 receive two 60-minute lessons per fortnight and Years 8 & 9 receive one 60-minute lesson per fortnight. All students are taught in mixed ability groups and complete several assessments throughout a year to track their progress. Elements of the subject are also covered throughout Years 7 to 11 through Learning for Life lessons to offer students a more holistic view of the world around them.

RS Intent

Our RS and Citizenship programme is planned and developed in line with the SACRE guidance. Our Curriculum Lead for RS ensures the curriculum is planned and sequenced to best meet the needs and context of our school community, focusing on broadening student awareness of world views and diversity. Our students are encouraged to understand multicultural Britain and be respectful of those of different world views and belief systems, encouraging them to broaden their knowledge beyond their own community context and explore ethical and philosophical issues in doing so. 

As a school in a less diverse area of the country, and our local authority, we feel it is of utmost importance to ensure our students understand a broad range of world views, values, and ways of living to enable them to be respectful citizens, as well as being successful in their chosen future pathways.
