Curriculum: RE Key Stage 3

As per the Cornwall Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education, Christianity forms the basis of much of the Key Stage 3 syllabus. In addition to this, students will also study aspects of Buddhism and Islam and explore secular responses to contemporary moral issues.

Students are assessed using two attainment targets;

• Learning about Religion
• Learning from Religion

These targets are obviously closely related.

Levels of attainment are awarded at the end of Key Stage 3 and reported to parents.

As students enter Year 9, the curriculum begins to take on the requirements of the GCSE in Religious Education.
