At the core of Religious Education (at KS3) and Ethics and Society (at GCSE) is the study of the religions and worldviews that shape the world in which we live.Â
Students are equipped to develop their religious, ethical and philosophical literacy, building knowledge and understanding of a wide range of beliefs and cultures, going onto analyse and evaluate responses to the issues they encounter. Religious Education and Ethics and Society seeks to enable students to fully participate in a multicultural society.’
