Religious Education aims to provoke challenging questions about the meaning and purpose of life, beliefs about God and issues of right and wrong.

English: English is the medium through which we express and understand ourselves, and make sense of the world Geography: Geography is the study of the Earth’s landscapes, people, places and environments. It is about the world in which we live and helps students to be more socially and environmentally aware. History: In History we aim to inspire students to ask the question why? and to become enquiring, analytical and well informed individuals. Maths: Mathematics forms the building blocks of everything around us and emphasizes pattern spotting, problem solving, creative thinking and teamwork. Media Studies: Media Studies helps students develop a wider understanding of the media and their role in society, culture and politics.
