During year 8, pupils will explore the three subjects of Citizenship, Religious Studies and PSHE. Within Citizenship they will discover issues connected with personal finance and responsibility. In politics, they will probe the workings of parliament and consider wider political issues. In Religious Studies, pupils are taught in line with the locally agreed syllabus focusing primarily on: Knowing about/understanding religions and worldviews, expressing/communicating ideas and gaining/deploying skills. In Judaism, they will investigate key Jewish beliefs and practices; pupils will examine and reflect upon rites of passage such as death and marriage, from the three Abrahamic faiths. In PSHE they will learn valuable life skills examining the dangers and consequences of drug use.
