The department is accommodated in a suite of four dedicated classrooms and a Chapel. The subject is well resourced and each student receives 10% of curriculum time (KS3-4) and 5% at KS5. All students follow a vibrant programme of study with many opportunities for prayer, meditation and reflection weaved in. Our recent launch of Class Masses has also added further opportunities for students to develop spiritually in an all embracing environment. We run a programme of 6th form RE conferences which involve the students learning about Fairtrade and other topical yet contemporary issues.
Trips and visits are an integral part of the department with visits to places of worship, retreats (day and residential) and enrichment events such as workshops at the National Gallery.
