KS4
At GCSE we offer 'Philosophy and Ethics'. This is an RS based course and is
incredibly popular. In Year 10 students study 'Religious Philosophy and Ultimate
Questions' and in Year 11 they focus on 'Religion and Morality'. These courses lend
themselves to the A Level Philosophy course offered by the school. Results are
consistently above national averages for RE.
Ofsted 2004 said "...pupils have specifically outperformed pupils nationally in terms of grades A* - C. The gap between the attainment of girls and boys is significantly lower than is the case nationally.’
What do the students say?
“I was really pleased to see that I had achieved a Grade A for RS. I felt confident coming out of the exam, as I had been taught all of the topics really well. I was grateful for all the help the RE teachers had given us” Year 12 student
“I think that the subject we are doing at the moment has been planned out very well by the teacher and that learning about Sikhs, Hindus, Jews and Christians is great fun.” Year 7 student
