Overview

The study of religion makes a particular contribution to candidates’ understanding of spiritual,
moral and cultural issues by encouraging them to reflect upon their own attitudes, and those of
others, to the topics under consideration.
This course will aim to build on the foundations of religious inquiry established through GCSE and
seeks to challenge students to explore in greater depth what it means to be a religious person in
the modern world drawing support and guidance from religious texts.
