Religious Studies GCSE

All students in Year 10 and Year 11 follow the GCSE religious studies course.  The girls study two units: Religion and life based on a study of Christianity, which deals with issues such as beliefs and values, community and tradition, worship and celebration and living the Christian Life and St Mark's Gospel which looks at discipleship, conflict and argument, death and resurrection and who is Jesus?

In addition all candidates undertake a special study on the theme of Christian attitudes to Wealth and Poverty and Christians and Persecution or the Parables of the Kingdom. 

While it is possible to submit work on the special studies as coursework, for the majority of candidates assessment is based on the completion of two, two hour, written examination papers taken in the Summer of Year 11.
