Religious Studies

The Religious Studies curriculum at Crawshaw aims to foster a deep understanding of diverse religious, spiritual, and ethical traditions, helping students to reflect on their own beliefs and values while developing respect for those of others.

Students will be provided with the opportunity to gain knowledge on the six major religions which are studied chronologically. Our curriculum promotes critical thinking, open-mindedness, and empathy, encouraging students to engage thoughtfully with questions of meaning, purpose, and morality in the modern world. We aim to create responsible global citizens who can contribute positively to a multicultural and multi-faith society.

KS4 Religious Studies

The GCSE Religious Studies course enables students to deepen and broaden their knowledge and understanding of Christianity and Islam, while also developing respect and appreciation for the beliefs of others. The AQA GCSE course we deliver is entirely exam based with no controlled assessment. Students will sit two exam papers at the end of Year 11, each worth 50% of the final grade. One paper focuses on the beliefs, teachings and practices of Christianity and Islam, while the other explores four key themes:

Theme A: Relationships and families

Theme B: Religion and life

Theme D: Religion, peace and conflict

Theme E: Religion, crime and punishment

Through these studies, students are encouraged to think critically about ethical and philosophical issues, apply religious teachings to modern-day debates, and develop their ability to understand and respect different perspectives.
