Religious Studies, Philosophy and Ethics is a popular and successful subject at our school. As a diverse school, we see our role as essential in supporting students to understand and appreciate other faiths and cultures. We also support students in understanding how different moral codes influence society and help them develop an understanding of their own opinions and influences. Religious Studies, Philosophy and Ethics is taught in dedicated classrooms which house specialist resources and artefacts.

In Year 9 students will be learning about the development of religion and views of God, through a study of the Abrahamic faiths and their shared stories. They will explore how the religions began and how their histories overlap. They will look at how views of God and culture effect behaviour and how that has changed over time.
