It helps us to have an understanding of religion. It helps us to form our beliefs and values. We are helped to think and reflect on experiences which enable us to think about essential questions about life. We study Christianity and the principal religions represented in Britain.  E.g. Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and Islam. We are helped to develop an understanding towards spiritual and religious interpretation. Let's learn about what people do through celebration, worship, prayer and pilgrimage. Let's learn about how people express religious experience. Let's learn about personal commitment to religious beliefs. Let's learn about how values and commitments influence attitudes and behaviour. Let's make sense of who we are. Let's be sensitive towards others thoughts and experiences. Let's learn about different religious festivals. Let's learn how people express their religious experiences.
