Religious Studies
at Norton Canes High School, Cannock · school or sixth form
What the college says
Ever since humankind started to think, religion has been a fundamental part of our development. As people look into the vastness of space or witness the miracle of birth, they contemplate the meaning of life and their own mortality. It has always been this way. In the 21st century, religion still addresses the same eternal human questions about life and death, values and relationships, right and wrong. Religious Studies is an inclusive subject, designed for people of any faith and people who have no faith. It is not necessary to have taken Religious Studies at GCSE. All that is required is a desire to find out more about religion and its role in society.
