Religious Studies is an essential part of life at King’s. It doesn’t just happen in the classroom but in every aspect of school life, in terms of the values and respect shown to each other and in the way our pupils are encouraged to respond to the issues and challenges of our day.

Religious Studies Curriculum

Through the generic Religious Studies programme across the 3rd and 4th Forms, pupils get an opportunity to investigate some of the key religions of the world and also to grapple with many of the ethical issues that have shaped and divided our world; the ethics of war, radicalisation, human rights, terrorism, trafficking, abortion and environmental stewardship, to name a few of the topics covered.
