Welcome to Religious Studies

Intent

Religious Studies is essential in the current climate of our school and in our country. Our students, who come from diverse backgrounds, will live, study and work in a multicultural society and therefore need to develop an understanding of religions in order to exist. At Overton Grange, our RS curriculum is designed in such a way to create opportunities for students to gain an understanding of the major world religions found in Britain, including non-religious beliefs. The RS department’s vision is to help pupils:

To be enquiring members of the school and wider community.

To be critical and philosophical thinkers.
To reflect on the religious beliefs and practices of others.
To have confidence in expressing their beliefs, whilst respecting those of others.
