Key Stage 3

The early stages of this course are here to reflect on aspects of human experience which give rise to fundamental questions about life. We explore, explain and consider what different religions believe about God and compare different world views.

Students also explore ethics and relationships, authority, science and religon as well as global issues such as peace, justice and equality.

Key Stage 4

This OCR GCSE emphasizes Philosophy and applied Ethics. It provides an opportunity for candidates to build upon the foundations laid down by following the Devon County Agreed Syllabus in Religious Education.
