Religious Studies
Religious Studies is an integral subject in developing students’ knowledge and understanding within the multi-cultural and diverse world in which we live. Our vision at Pershore High School is to allow students to develop key skills for learning and life beyond education. Students will gain a deeper understanding of religions and worldviews and explore philosophy and ethics in the modern world. Our subject develops students’ skills such as critical thinking and reasoning; it encourages them to participate through in-depth debates.
