The specification for Religious Studies at both AS and Advanced GCE Levels requires a sound knowledge of those topics completed as part of the GCSE programme. The course facilitates both personal and academic development with particular focus on knowledge and understanding of historical, moral and cultural issues. In addition, pupils will become able to apply these matters to human experience in our modern day society. The course allows opportunity for the employment of a vast range of teaching and learning strategies and active learning is promoted.
