The study of Theology and Philosophy at A Level requires students to develop an enquiring, critical and empathetic approach to a broad range of topics. Additionally, students acquire a range of transferable skills of benefit in other academic disciplines: essay writing; analysis and evaluation of a range of issues, ideas and theories. Class time is split between teacher and student led activities, encouraging all to become independent learners and thinkers. A broad range of resources are used, including books, audio-visual material, online and journal publications. Reading, note taking, independent research skills, essay writing and presentations are developed in class and prep. Students develop the ability to compare, contrast, evaluate and reach judgments on different approaches to philosophical, ethical and religious issues.
Assessment at the end of Upper Sixth is by three, two hour written external examinations, each worth 120 marks. Students are tested regularly in lessons to identify strengths and areas for development.
