Religous Studies
Curriculum Aims
Our students will understand how to ask questions about the ultimate meaning and purpose of life, beliefs about God, issues of right and wrong, and what it means to be human. They will develop knowledge and understanding of Christianity, of other principal religions, other religious traditions and worldviews that offer answers to questions such as these. RE will contribute to students’ personal development and well-being and to community cohesion by promoting mutual respect and tolerance in a diverse society.
