RESPECT is a combination of Religious Education, Personal, Social & Health Education and Citizenship. The name was selected to reflect, not only the content of the subject, but also the main aim – Teaching respect for myself and other people. Although each of the curriculum areas within RESPECT has its own distinct aims, objectives and subject content, it is our belief that these areas can and do complement each other and provide a well balanced education for all our pupils.
The subject of Religious Education attracts strong feelings, commitment and sometimes controversy. School life provides a secure environment in which students can develop their knowledge and understanding of the observable and deeper aspects of religion.

3 lessons per fortnight in Y8 & 9
Stickers are given out for excellent pieces of work and effort.
Once a student has received 3 stickers, they will then be awarded a RESPECT postcard from their subject teacher.
Students are also eligible to be chosen for the RESPECT ‘student of the week’ award, which is a larger postcard signed by both their Subject Teacher and the Director for Teaching and Learning. These are awarded for sustained effort and exceptional work.
A homework assignment will be set, on average, once a fortnight for classes in KS3. These assignments should take approximately 30 mins for students to complete.
Summative assessment tests take place twice a year in the Progress Review Weeks in December and June.
