Many ideas are more interesting than one. Religious Studies is a varied course that aims to capture the imagination and develop the enquiring mind. Intellectual curiosity is encouraged through challenging accepted norms and investigating the capacity of human reason and understanding. The approach is non-confessional, critical and academic, although students often engage with ultimate questions on a fundamental and personal level. The course has a traditional scriptural element to it, but much of the focus is on broader issues of ethics and philosophy.
For automatic entry into the Sixth Form a minimum of eight grade Bs (6 point average) at IGCSE/GCSE is required. If students fall short of this mark by gaining some C grades, an equivalent number of higher grades in other subjects may be acceptable. Most of our pupils work towards achieving the IB Diploma or three A Level subjects. Slightly above the eight B grade hurdle and certainly below it, a different programme of study may be more appropriate and each case will be considered individually. Ideally pupils will gain at least a grade A (7 points) at IGCSE/GCSE in a subject (or a related subject) they wish to study at IB Higher Level or for A Level, and certainly they should not score less than a B grade. For Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages and the Sciences, A grades (7 points) at GCSE or IGCSE are expected.
