The RE department at Unity College will help to develop curious and independent learners who have an awareness of their own and others identities and beliefs. In turn they will grow in respect for themselves and others, now and in the future.

Key Stage Three 

Religious Education at Unity College asks the question ‘what is it to be human?’ and explores answers offered by different religions and beliefs. 

The themes explored throughout Key Stage Three are: 

Year 7 – Where do we belong?

Year 8 – Where can we find guidance about how to live our lives?

Year 9 – Where can we seek truth and find meaning? 

The exploration includes the four areas:

• Shared human experience
• Living religious tradition
• Beliefs and values
• The search for personal meaning

Key Stage Four

Core Religious Education 

The units studied in core Religious Education at Key Stage Four include the study of beliefs and practices through a variety of religious and non-religious world-views such as Humanism.
