Religious Studies

Our curriculum intent for Religious Studies is to develop students understanding of the diversity in religion that we have in Britain today. This curriculum aims to teach the core British values: respect, democracy, the rule of law and tolerance, through themes relating to religion, social justice, philosophy and changes in society.

The content of the Religious Studies curriculum is designed to cover the rich syllabus provided by Southwark SACRE (Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education) as well as meet the national curriculum objective of giving students opportunities to promote an ethos of respect for others, challenge stereotypes and build understanding of other cultures and beliefs. As part of the wider Humanities intent, this curriculum ensures that all pupils know their place in the society that they live in, the rights that they have and the role they have in the future development of society to produce well-rounded global Active Citizens. 

For more information about the Religious Studies Curriculum please contact Religious Studies Strand Leader Janice Baawa: J.baawa@harrisdulwichboys.org.uk
