RE
The Religious Studies Department aims to equip all students with an understanding of the teachings and practices of the major world religions. As a Church of England academy we aim to ensure all students have a deep understanding of Christianity while also trying to reflect the religious backgrounds of our students. We want all students to leave having considered their own responses to religious ideas and a keen understanding of how these are put into practice in the world around them.
