Never before has learning about different religious beliefs been so important.  Religion and beliefs inform our values and are reflected in what we say and how we behave. Religious Studies provokes challenging questions about the ultimate meaning and purpose of life, beliefs about God, the Self and the nature of reality, issues of right and wrong and what it means to be Human. RS develops pupils’ knowledge and understanding of the nature of religion and belief including Christianity, other principal religions, other religious traditions, and world views that offer answers to these challenging questions.​
