Religious Studies Curriculum

Religious Studies Curriculum Intent

We believe that having a core knowledge of world beliefs and practices is crucial to the development and education of all young people. Therefore we aim for our students to be able to confidently express their beliefs and values whilst respecting the religious and cultural differences which make up our diverse society in order to be able to contribute towards creating a more cohesive and understanding society.

Students are challenged with questions about belief, values, meaning, purpose and truth, enabling them to develop their own attitudes towards religious, world and ethical issues. We aim for our students to be curious about the world and confident to raise questions about what is happening around them.
