This is an exciting course that is challenging and far reaching. Even though this A Level is entitled Religious Studies it could easily be described as Philosophy and Ethics. The main topics studied are an introduction to ethics and philosophy. This subject should appeal to anyone with an inquiring and critical mind. Many of the skills gained in the study of philosophy and ethics will be transferable to other A Level subjects: critical thinking, evaluative and debating skills. You need to have an interest in the abstract and not hold any preconceived opinions. It is important to have a questioning mind, be an independent thinker and be able to think outside the box. There will also be the opportunity to attend conferences, symposiums and lectures at a variety of places. Past students have gone on to study medicine, law, teaching, journalism, media studies, music, business or joined the services.
Entry into the Sixth Form is dependent upon ability and attitude, together with a minimum of five GCSE passes at Grade 5, or higher, including English and Mathematics, a Headteacher’s report and personal interview. Some subjects may require higher grades for entry to A Level.
