Religious Education

The Religious Studies department offers Philosophy and Ethics at A-level. Students are encouraged to use higher level thinking to address topics such as ‘Does God exist?’ and ‘Do humans have souls?’ The course is designed to develop skills in critical thinking and although it is very demanding it is also very enjoyable.

To prepare for the transition from Key Stage 4 to 5 it is important to do some background reading to prepare. Also research into ancient philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle so their arguments are familiar. A grade 5 or above is desirable.
