Philosophy (RE)

Philosophy Curriculum Map

To engender a love of learning about the world- past and present. Through a relentless approach to learning, staff will give students the tools to achieve their academic potential, to develop informed views and have the courage, conviction and knowledge to stand up for what they believe in to make society a better place. 

Our curriculum is designed to support pupils’ religious literacy; being religiously literate means that pupils will have the ability to hold balanced and well-informed conversations about religion and worldviews.  Pupils will be nurtured to become free-thinking, critical participants of public discourse, who can make academically informed judgements about important matters of religion and belief that shape the global landscape. 

The syllabus delivered acknowledges the importance of religious and non-religious worldviews in all human life. 

In England and Wales Parents have the statutory right under Section 71 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 to withdraw their children from RE lessons and acts of Collective Worship in schools. 

As parents you are not obliged to give a reason for requesting the withdrawal. Requests for withdrawals should be made in writing. However, before exercising any right of withdrawal, we would recommend you contact us to discuss further.
