Religious Studies
The Academy has no religious affiliation. As part of the Statutory Curriculum all students follow a programme of Religious Studies in which, through the study of major world religions and philosophical beliefs, the Academy seeks to promote knowledge, understanding and tolerance. The development of values, attitudes and a variety of skills is encouraged together with an ability to reflect upon wider social, ethical and moral issues which are relevant to today’s society.
Parents may withdraw their child from religious education and from attendance at collective worship by written application to the Principal.
