GCSE RELIGIOUS STUDIES

The GCSE course focuses on Christianity through a study of Luke’s Gospel and on social, moral and world issues from a variety of perspectives. (for example embryo research, abortion and euthanasia)

 

The course deals with the subject in a lively and interactive way and, whilst the learning of basic facts is important, it is the ability to think about them and then give an opinion that really counts.  Pupils find this skill to be a great asset across the curriculum and beyond.

 

Although many of us may not practise a religion, Christianity has shaped our country and ultimately the way we think.  Learning about our background enables pupils to learn more about themselves and begin to appreciate the potential they each have to make a difference in the world.
