Religious Studies is taught in form groups within the humanities faculty. It is part of the curriculum for all students throughout years 7 – 13 and is planned using the Hertfordshire Agreed Syllabus.

In years 7 – 9 students are taught for one hour per week and homework is set weekly. Students are assessed through school examinations and continuous assessment. During the first three years students study the six major world religions; Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism and Philosophy & Ethics. Religious and secular world views are studied from historical, philosophical and social perspectives. We aim to inspire a deeper awareness of each student's own values and beliefs whilst showing an appreciation and understanding of other cultures and faiths.

Students in years 10 currently study Philosophy & Applied Ethics, Short Course RS through Christianity and Buddhism.

Philosophy & Ethics is offered as an RS GCSE option in years 10 and 11. Students study two religions and are assessed through two examinations.

In years 12 and 13 Philosophy & Ethics RS AS and A2 level is offered.

The department is resourced with specialist books, videos, slides and artefacts. There are also reference facilities and a religious studies section in the library. The department promotes a wide variety of learning experiences. These include discussion, philosophy for children, ICT, project work, pair work, group work, role play and visiting places of religious significance. The school’s information technology facilities are utilised and students are encouraged, where appropriate, to produce word processed assignments.
