Curriculum Intent

At Polam Hall School our Religious Education Curriculum aims to:

• Enable pupils to respond to a global landscape of religious belief and diversity.
• To help our pupils make sense of religious and non-religious beliefs, to hold balanced and well-informed views about religion and belief.
• Enable pupils to make connections between religious and non-religious beliefs, concepts, practices and ideas studied.
• Develop a knowledge and acceptance of religions and worldviews.
• Encourage pupils to reflect on their own beliefs and biases and develop their ideas, values and identities.
• Foster the ability to debate with one another and respectfully hold differing opinions.

At GCSE students follow the AQA A specification. Further details can be found using this link:
