All pupils take Religious Studies until the Sixth Form. They have two lessons a week until the end of Year 9. They can then choose to take RS at GCSE. If they do not, they have one compulsory lesson a week in Years 10 and 11. Students learn in Form groups up to Year 10.
In their time at the school students will learn about all of the six major world religions (Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam Judaism and Sikhism). The department encourages pupils to learn about religions but also to learn from them. Students learn skills such as how to debate, how to analyse ideas and how to respect the views of other people.

Religious Education

This is what I studied at school in England as a compulsory subject.

I think as soon as it is taken to a further level (Uni etc), it is then referred to as theology.

agree Robin Salmon (X) : I live in Australia and it is not, to my knowledge, a school subject in state schools. However, it is in some church schools, see near end of link http://www.stursulas.qld.edu.au/curric_policy.htm
