Ken Stimpson Academy

REligion and World Views

Students will study the RS curriculum in Year 7, 8 and 9. They will receive one lesson per week. We are really proud of the curriculum as we have aimed to make it exciting, ambitious, and inclusive of all views, religious and non-religious worldviews.

Our curriculum aim is for young people to be able to make sense of and navigate the world around them so that they can become free thinking and critical thinkers around issues about religion and worldviews. This is to help students navigate the complex and diverse world that we live in.

Students examine the impact and influence of religion on worldviews on they way people lived in the past and how it influences and impacts society and thinking today. They explore current issues and debates surrounding religion and worldviews. Students also explore their own values and assumptions and how we as a society construct our knowledge. Students also benefit from developing critical thinking skills, writing skills, and research skills.

Please look at our programme of study for next year.

Phase 3

In year 9 Religious Studies has become a GCSE option. To prepare students for the GCSE. In year 9 they will currently study the six major world religions, beliefs, and practices so that they have a secure foundation ready to begin the GCSE later in the year. Students will also undertake a project within year 9 where they explore and undertake research on arguments for the existence of God. This will allow them to apply the wide range of disciplines within the subject and develop their understanding of the subject ready for future learning.
