Religious Studies - Key Stage 4 |
|
Outline of Departmental Activities:
Key Stage 4
Approximately 2/3 of the year group usually opt to continue with religious studies for GCSE. We follow the AQA Specification A (1A: Christianity and 2A: Effects of Christianity.) for the GCSE examination in 2010 from September 2009 we are following AQA Specification B (3: Religion and Morality and 6: Worship and Key Beliefs).
To supplement our Christianity studies we visit a variety of Church buildings in our local area and talk to the officials at these places. We also look at the rites of passage, festivals and beliefs. Moral Issues is always an extremely popular part of the course including discussion on topical issues such as prejudice and discrimination; justice and reconciliation and decisions on life and living. Pupils are encouraged to keep abreast of these issues and to take an interest in the world situation. As stated previously, the non-examination course for Religious Studies is taught via the PSHCE course. Issues are considered from the points of view of various religions. |  |
