Key Stage 3 Religious Education (RE)

You don’t have to be religious to study Religious Education. In fact, it’s a fascinating topic whether you identify with a set of religious beliefs or not.

The world is diverse. It’s like a packet of bubblegum where no two pieces are the same. With over 7 billion people on our wonderful planet, it’s no wonder we differ in faith, culture and beliefs.

Learning about different religions is a great way to be mindful and courteous of other people. By learning about the various religions people follow, you can build on your previous RE knowledge and be even more respectful to others. Most of the quizzes have a link at the bottom to the relevant BBC Bitesize page for extra revision and understanding.

The content you’ll learn throughout Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9 is certainly a step up but we think you’ll find it as captivating as ever.
