Ethics and Philosophy

Ethics and Philosophy (Religious Education) is taught once a fortnight throughout Year 7-9.

 

We follow the ethos of our British Values (democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and Tolerance) and as a Rights Respecting School.

 

Within the three years, we cover the major world religions including:
  • Christianity
  • Islam
  • Buddhism
  • Judaism
  • Sikhism

 

We also look at ethical issues such as:
  • The Death Penalty
  • The act of Forgiveness
  • Abortion - For and against arguments
  • Assisted Dying

 

Ethics and Philosophy follows a formalised sequence of lesson, assessment and oracy opportunities to expand the understanding of the students and instil a sense of respect and tolerance for all.

 

You have the right to withdraw your child from Ethics & Philosophy lessons.
