Scripture is taught throughout the school including two lessons and one prep a week.  The teaching is mainly based on the Bible with the study of the Old Testament in the junior forms.

In order to help them clearly remember the biblical stories the girls often act them out in the box gardens. They are encouraged to discover the moral dimension of these stories and to relate them to everyday life. We hope to enhance their sense of right and wrong.

In the lower 6th (year7) they concentrate on the New Testament, the birth of Christianity and its message. They also each choose a person of spiritual importance to study and give an individual presentation to their form.

In the final year the girls have three lessons and one prep a week ; they go over in greater depth all that they have studied but concentrate on the contemporary relevance of the stories, miracles and parables.

Increasingly they are encouraged to form their own personal views, and to realize that, as long as they can defend them logically and intelligently, their ideas are important and valid. Through these discussions they are also led to accept other people’s point of views and to understand the value of other faiths.

Religious Studies lends itself to meaningful discussions on all aspects of their lives and develops the girls’ awareness of their own responsibility, and their ability to influence their environment both at school and at home.
