RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

 

Text Box: “Learners thrive as a result of the outstanding teaching which they thoroughly enjoy!” Ofsted 2009

 

Welcome to the Religious Education homepage, we hope that you are able to access lots of information about the work that we are doing, but please feel free to contact us with any additional questions that you may have. We have five designated Religious Education specialists in the department, Miss A Grady, Miss S Mc Carthy, Miss S Sylvester, Mrs M Moran and Fr James. 
At Key Stage 3 we follow the scheme of work as indicated by the Bishop’s Conference, using a variety of learning styles to ensure that students are allowed to develop to the very best of their ability. At Key Stage 4 we follow the AQA syllabus for St Mark’s Gospel and the Christian Ethics paper, and at Key stage 5 we follow Edexcel using Philosophy and Ethics.  The department are committed to ensuring the development of the ‘whole’ person by not only their knowledge within Religious Education, but also their own personal faith journey and project work helping charities.
The department also runs a pilgrimage to Lourdes every Easter allowing sixth form to become helpers for children with specific needs as well as supporting a number of other charities throughout the year.
