The academic study of Religious Studies remains a very popular subject choice at GCSE. Pupils study the beliefs, practices and philosophies of Islam and Christianity, as well as non-religious ethical approaches to a range of contemporary moral issues. We also build on some of the philosophy studied in B Block to develop critical thinking and philosophical reasoning skills. Religious Studies at GCSE emphasises the importance of debating skills, the forming of balanced arguments, and the consideration of differing opinions. No personal belief is required or expected, although it is of course welcome.
Entry to the Sixth Form is subject to a minimum requirement of 5 GCSEs at Grade 6 unless there is a compelling reason to modify this requirement, and in any event, where this is necessary it will usually lead to the applicant being offered a BTEC or BTEC with one A Level as a Sixth Form course. Candidates must achieve at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in any subject to be studied at A level, and a Grade 7 in the case of Mathematics, any Science or a Modern Foreign Language.
