Home learning (frequency and expectations)
Home learning tasks are set every fortnight and will range from research tasks to more creative ways of consolidating and enhancing learning that has taken place in lessons. Non submission, incomplete homework or homework that is not up to standard will warrant a behaviour point and a 1 hour detention.
How parents/carers can support their child:
Please check student diaries and satchel:one via RM unify to keep track of homework that has been set. Encourage your child to extend their knowledge and understanding through independent research. Additionally, use the websites in the ‘Useful websites section’ to help your child with their learning.
Possible careers include:
The study of religion provides many opportunities for personal and intellectual growth, but religious studies also develops a set of very practical skills for students:
In RS you will gain some fundamental skills including cultural literacy, interpreting and expressing your position on perplexing questions, exercising your analytical skills and developing your critical intelligence, with the ability to empathise with your fellow human beings in order to understand his or her perspective.
Starting with GCSE RS, there are many places to go. As an academic major in the humanities, the study of religion is like a History or English major; it imposes no limitations. But it also lends its own particular strengths to a number of different career choices. People who have studied religion or theology at school, college or university have successfully gone on to professional training in:
|
Business (particularly international business)
|
Counselling and Social Work
|
|
Education
|
Journalism
|
|
Law
|
Medicine
