Philosophy & Ethics (Inc. R.E.)

Religious Education is facilitated through the study of Philosophy & Ethics.

Intent

The Philosophy and Ethics (KS3) and Religious Education (KS4) curriculum is designed to help build awareness, understanding, and appreciation of different, beliefs, faiths, practices, and religions. It aims to increase understanding of the diverse communities surrounding us, in the modern world in which we live, and to create a safe environment based on mutual respect and tolerance. By doing this, we enhance our communication skills and, therefore, foster necessary life skills.
