Religious StudiesThe Religious Studies department at Kent College takes a lively, innovative approach to the subject. We are committed to the school’s Christian foundation whilst also recognising the need for religious tolerance, and so ensuring that our students receive a diverse Religious Studies curriculum. Years 7 and 8We aim to provide students with a window to the world around them. Students explore the human race and its beliefs, as well as studying the great world religions and their cultures. In doing so, students develop a greater understanding of the term 'religion' in everyday life and a tolerance of others around us. As well as the education of religious studies, we aim to encourage students to interact with people without fear or prejudice. Activities in the classroom are varied and, as a department, we endeavour to provide a wide range of teaching styles and broad range of learning experiences to meet the individual needs of the students. We use drama, visiting speakers, presentations and research in addition to making full use of the school's ICT facilities Topics studied include:
