St Peter’s School (Cambridge)
Year 10 - Religious Education (Core)
Course Description
The main objective of this course is for students to examine some of the key beliefs of the Christian tradition. Students will identify and explore some of the central beliefs of Christianity, such as baptism, Easter, Christmas and the Trinity. Students will examine the sources and origins of these beliefs and their meaning and importance for Christians. Students will consider and assess the wider personal, social and historical impact of these beliefs, especially in the light of a Christian moral approach.
Students will gain understanding of the sources and significance of these beliefs for Christians. Through this process they will be able to consider and develop their own perspectives upon issues of faith and practice. Students later reflect on the more profound existential questions about life and God as a precursor to their studies of major world religions in the following year.
