KS5 students are offered the chance to study A Level RE.  This sits alongside their core RE provision of 15 hours across the key stage as required by the Coventry and Warwickshire Agreed Syllabus for RE.  Core RE at KS5 is focused on a series of structured debates on topical events that link to either religion, philosophy or ethics. The debates take place once per half term and are comprised of 4 x 25-minute tutor sessions across the week.
