Religious Studies at Helenswood School
Key Stage 3 Religious Studies
In Key Stage 3 Religious Studies, students explore Christianity through the life of Jesus, the teachings and practices of modern Christians and a project on a Person of Faith. They also learn about Hinduism, Buddhism and other religious traditions. In all areas of study, we aim to combine learning about religions with reflection on the students' own viewpoints and experiences. As students progress towards Key Stage 4, they should develop skills of evaluation and empathy. Whilst the programme of work recognises that we live in a predominantly Christian country, no assumptions are made about individual students' beliefs and we aim to provide an environment where students of all faiths and none feel confident to be themselves.
