GCSE Revised in Religious Studies
This revised specification for GCSE Religious Studies is available for first teaching from September 2009. We will make the first awards in 2011.
This specification gives students opportunities to:
- develop their interest in religion;
- explore religions and beliefs and relate them to the wider world;
- reflect on fundamental questions related to belief;
- understand different cultures locally, nationally and in the wider world;
- enhance their spiritual and moral development;
- enhance their personal, social and cultural development;
- adopt an enquiring, critical and reflective approach to the study of religion; and
- reflect on and develop their own values, opinions and attitudes.
This course prepares students for further study of religious studies (or related vocational subjects) at post-16 level.
