What the college says

The Key Stage 5 curriculum in religious studies is focused on the key skills necessary for university. Students study 3 components of philosophy, ethics and the development of Christian thought. The focus of the examination is on how students develop a thesis; how they can create a line of argument and use a variety of scholars or schools of thought to strengthen their argument. Students must reflect upon criticisms of these key ideas and judge their success, they must then defend their line of argument against these criticisms. The focus of the A level course is for students to adopt an enquiring, critical and reflective approach to the study of religion.
