KS4 Religious Studies

In Years 10-11 all students study GCSE Religious Studies.  The course studies Christian and Jewish beliefs and teachings and how these are expressed in lifestyle, worship and organisation. We also study a variety of moral issues and religious and nonreligious responses to them, opening opportunity for students to engage in philosophical and ethical thinking and to formulate and share their own opinions.  For more info., visit our KS4 Religious Studies page.

Career Pathways

The skills learned as part of studying Religious Education can be useful in many different jobs that require logical thought or communication of ideas and many people who study philosophy / RS go on to work in careers in law, education, politics or business.

You can watch a great series of videos of young people who are working in jobs that use Religious Studies on the BBC Bitesize website.
