Religious Education is taught for 1 100 minute lesson per fortnight.

Curriculum INTENT - In year 7 we want to take the students on a voyage through the array of multi-faith and philosophical world views in our society. They will have the opportunity to explore their own views and opinions on some complex questions as well as developing an understanding of what it is like to belong and how religious people and communities express their faith. Religious education is not something that is done to them but is a preparation for students to enter a world full of moral dilemmas and questions, we want to prepare all students for such a world.

We will begin Year 7 with 6 lessons giving a general introduction to the 6 major world religions. We will then focus on Christianity.
