We offer Religious Studies at both AS and A2 Levels and follow the CCEA specification. At both levels we have excellent results.
AS Level (Year 13)
8 periods per week are allocated for AS Level Religious Studies.
The options chosen are:
- AS1 An Introduction to the Gospel of Luke
- AS4 The Christian Church in the Roman Empire: Beginnings, Expansion and External Pressure
AS1 and AS4 are taught concurrently throughout the year (4 periods / week each).
In most of the topics covered the students will be required to reflect on the relationship between their unity of study and other aspects of Human Experience.

A2 Level (Year 14)
8 weeks per week are allocated for A2 Level Religious Studies.
