Welcome to the Department of Religious Education:

“The unexplained life is not worth living” (Socrates)

Head of Humanities Ms L. Powell

KS3 Religious Education

The key stage 3 RE curriculum at Ernest Bevin College focuses on four key themes:

  1. Historical and Cultural Context:

Students learn how religions change and develop over time. This includes the historical reasons for changes in beliefs and the connections between faiths.

  1. The Lives of believers

Students also learn about how belonging to a religion affects the daily life of believers. How do their religious beliefs shape their decisions and their relationships with others?

  1. Tolerance

The world is full of people with very different beliefs and opinions. Students will learn how to respect the beliefs of others who may have views that are different to our own.

  1. Religion in Society

The final theme concerns how different religions live together in the modern world and how sometimes this can lead to conflict and challenges

Assessments:

Each unit of work will have 3 written assessments, usually set as homework which will build up student’s skill at writing explanations and essays which need to evaluate different perspectives in RE. At the end of each term students will also sit an exam style assessment for which they will need to revise everything they have learned that term.
