# Religious Education

## Religious Education

RE’s purpose at KS3 is to introduce students to key questions within human thought and to explore philosophical concepts through the lens of religion as well as from their own experience. At KS4 (option GCSE) we conduct an academic study of the largest and most influential religions in the world: Christianity and Islam. We study the context in which these faiths were formed, track their development over time and examine their impact on the world today, with a specific focus on British society and values. At each stage we intend to engage students in their study through seeing how these issues affect them and their world, whether they are religious or not. Ultimately, the study of religion is the study of humanity, its history, values and cultures.
