The Department

Religious Studies, with its associated disciplines such as Philosophy, Ethics and Theology, is a classical subject that has engaged some of the greatest minds in history. Major universities such as Oxford, Cambridge and Trinity College Dublin have a long history of teaching and engaging with issues around the subject and maintain large and thriving departments. Religious Studies encourages academic rigor and reflection, asking the student to consider logic, history, the world around them and, their own place within it.

Mr Stephen Morris

I grew up fascinated with the history and claims of religions, being at a Church school as a teenager, and chose to study Theology at University. 35 years on, I still consider myself a student of religion. Sharing this enthusiasm with young people in the teaching of RE, in schools around the country, both state and independent, single-sex and mixed, selective and non-selective, Anglican and Catholic, has been such an engaging and enjoyable adventure. Every day brings a new insight, a new question, a new conversation. I have been a Head of RE, a school leader in a number of different contexts, and now in semi-retirement am embracing again (though part-time) the joys of teaching Catholic RE in the classroom.
