Religious Studies / TPR

Religious Studies makes a distinctive contribution to the Newton Prep curriculum by helping to develop our pupils' knowledge and understanding of the seven major world religions: Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Christianity and Humanism.

We look at each religion’s beliefs, founders, holy books, religious symbols, religious foods and festivals, and complement our studies with visits to some of their respective places of worship. Such visits enable our pupils to really immerse themselves in the experience of each religion and its practice.

In Years 7 & 8, Religious Studies becomes Theology, Philosophy and Religion, and it forms part of the Newton Diploma. The subject enables pupils to consider and respond to a range of important questions related to their own spiritual and philosophical development, enabling them to consider their own values and attitudes and to ask fundamental questions concerning the meaning and purpose of life.
