The purpose of the Religious Studies curriculum is to inspire a sense of awe and wonder through lessons that are broad and balanced, ambitious, and coherent. Religious Studies should provide students with the disciplinary knowledge from the disciplines of theology, sociology, philosophy, and ethics. Students will use this disciplinary knowledge as lenses to understand the key themes of Religious Studies; beliefs, practices, influences and ethics. The Religious Studies curriculum should provide students with powerful knowledge that is thought-provoking and encourages critical questions about the world we live in. Our curriculum should provide explicit opportunities for communication – written and oral. This should include the explicit teaching of vocabulary. The sequencing of our curriculum and assessment will support students to reflect deeply thus remembering more and being able to do more over time.
