All girls, who do not opt to take GCSE or A-Level RS have general RE
lessons, often on rotation with PSHE and ICT. These lessons are primarily
discussion-based springing from a stimulus like a film, news article,
website, game, etc. The girls learn to debate issues from as many religious and non-religious angles as possible and get an overview of some of the topics covered in more detail by the GCSE and A-Level students.
Topics covered in General RE over 4 years:
- War and Peace
- Animal Rights
- "Truth" and spirituality
- Wealth and Poverty
- Matters relating to life e.g. fertilisation techniques, embryology, cloning
- Sexual Ethics
- Religion in the media eg films. literature, news etc.
- Philosophy of Religion
