Religious Studies & Philosophy
Trips
Outstanding Religious Education can only be achieved through a combination of expert teaching and pupil experience. We are therefore very pleased that the school continues to highlight the importance of a lived experience of religion by allowing the department to run three field days during the year:
Year 7 – keen to foster our local connections, this year pupils venture to Ely Cathedral where they take part in a variety of activities such as stained-glass painting, living a day in the life of a monk, and climbing the octagonal tower.
Year 8 – pupils visit the Sri Swaminarayan Mandir in Neasden, North London, the largest Hindu temple outside India. Here they get to witness worship first-hand, whilst also furthering their knowledge of the core beliefs of a religion with close to one billion adherents.
Year 9 – pupils build on their year-long project on Judaism and the Holocaust by visiting either the Jewish Museum in London or Beth Shalom in Nottingham, where they consider the changing attitudes to Judaism through history both at home and abroad.
