Course summary

Studying Religious Studies at A Level not only promotes a positive awareness of the major religions of the world, it also promotes discussion and debate in a wider philosophical and ethical context. The course does not assume religious belief and will suit people of no religious faith or someone from a faith background. It is hoped that A Level Religious Studies will encourage our pupils to grow and develop into mature adults who will have a good solid knowledge and understanding of religion and its relationship with man's quest for meaning in life and the expression of such quests. The course will also develop individuals who are encouraged to think for themselves, yet have great empathy. In addition, pupils will develop the much needed skills of critical analysis, independent thought and evaluation. These are skills required to study most subjects at university level.

Entry requirements

Pupils must normally achieve five GCSEs in grades 9 to 4, including English and Maths. Candidates are expected to have a grade of 6 or above in the subjects they wish to take in the Sixth Form. Consideration will be given in exceptional circumstances to change this by the Headmaster.
