Religious Education
Religious EducationThe GCSE course is made up of two subject areas, which are closely related. These are the study of Christian Life through Mark's Gospel, and the consideration of the meaning of the Roman Catholic tradition for the lives of Christians today. Each area of study has a final examination of 1 hour and 45 minutes. Students must also produce one piece of coursework for each area of study.
In each subject area, the emphasis is upon the meaning for the lives of people today. The GCSE course is in no way concerned with learning facts that might be thought irrelevant - on the contrary, it is about discovering and understanding how and why Mark's Gospel and the Roman Catholic Tradition have meaning for Christians today.
On the intranet are a number of files which provide useful information for you as you follow the course. The resources will be particularly important for researching and writing assignments, and for revision. This Directory page is a catalogue of all the resources which are available.
