The Religious Education Curriculum
The Religious Education Curriculum
Religious Education is at the very centre of the planned curriculum – it is predominantly
taught by subject specialists throughout the school. It has dedicated teaching rooms as well
as office areas, Chaplain’s office and a beautiful school Chapel.
All students study RE throughout the school, including AQA GCSE Religious Studies B, the
results for which are consistently the best results of any department across the school, with
the majority of all grades the top grade, Level 9.
At A Level, Religious Studies is offered in the Sixth Form with numbers increasing in recent
years and consistently strong results in comparison with other subjects.
All students in the Sixth Form follow and interesting and diverse Core RE programme (one
lesson per week) consisting of units reflecting Catholic social issues on topics in line with the
expectations of the Bishop’s Conference of England and Wales. The teachers are largely
drawn from the RE department and members of the Senior Leadership Team.
