Religious, Moral and Philosophical Studies
Religious, Moral and Philosophical Education is a core subject for all students in S1 to S4.
Teachers draw on a range of approaches to meet the needs of students through carefully planned and well paced learning experiences. The aim is to provide an environment of creativity and innovation, to
- Take account of and value religious and cultural diversity within our community
- Develop, through knowledge and understanding, discussion and debate, an ability to understand other people's beliefs
- Encourage the development of enquiry and critical thinking skills
- Recognise and build on connections with other curricular areas
- Make appropriate use of technology
- Provide opportunities for collaborative and individual learning
