Thought, debate and original thinking are stimulated through a variety of mediums, including the use of film, music, ICT, group work and role play. All the main world religions are studied in addition to units on Philosophy and Ethics.
Religious Studies is compulsory in Years 7 to 9 and is an optional GCSE in Years 10 and 11.

A level and IB students attend conferences and webinars to enhance their studies and we enjoy many events at Bristol’s Festival of Ideas.
We run a lunchtime Junior and Senior Philosophy Club for students and we enter the annual Philosothon competition.
