Key Stage 3
At KS3, students follow the Hampshire Agreed Syllabus – ‘Living Difference’, which is an innovative, critical thinking approach to the study of religion. It states that the purpose of religious education is to ‘support students in developing their own coherent patterns of values and principles, and to support their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development’. It encourages students to interpret and respond to religious concepts, in the light of their own experiences.
