Curriculum – Religious Studies

Vision

Our vision for our students is for them to become not just tolerant but appreciative of the variety of values, beliefs and practices that exist in Britain’s pluralistic society. This will involve challenging misconceptions and stereotypes that exist in the community and extending their knowledge and understanding of the sixth major world faiths and atheism. We are passionate about them being aware of modern-day issues and events and aim for them to be able to make meaningful contributions to relevant debates. We will also use our subject as a vessel to promote and improve literacy.  Collectively these aims will allow our students to leave The Radclyffe School as well-informed, open-minded and considerate individuals.
