Religious Studies:  aims and objectives

The religious studies department strives to educate rather than indoctrinate its students.  We believe that objective study of the major world religions can assist students in learning about, and then more importantly from religious belief and practise.  This will hopefully enable students as they progress through the school to make more informed decisions concerning moral and philosophical dilemmas.

Students throughout the Key Stages will also develop the following skills: Reflection Empathy Communication Analysis & Evaluation Reasoning Enquiry.

The Curriculum

The department follows the Bournemouth SACRE scheme of work in Key Stage 3.  In Key Stage 4 all pupils follow the OCR Religious Studies GCSE Course (Full).
