Welcome to the Religious Education and Social Studies subject area.
This is a very large department with many different subjects ‘under one roof’, yet the experience and breadth of knowledge and wisdom make this a fantastic and vibrant place to be. Every child certainly does matter in this department and as your child will find out, this is a very popular area in St Mary’s and many of our pupils find it a place of fun yet also a great learning environment.
Throughout our subject area on the website you will find Religious Education, KS3 and GCSE Edexcel information, as well as AS and A2 Philosophy and Ethics, Law, Sociology, Psychology and General RE/Studies.
The department is led by Mr Welsh, who is supported by Miss Stephens (KS3 coordinator) and Mr Bennett (14-19 coordinator). The department also benefits from the teaching of Mr. Osindi, Mrs. Common, Mrs. Firth, Mrs. Brahms, Mrs. Ludwig, Mr. McCoy, Miss Bulcroft, Miss Harrison and Miss Earl.
The department makes a huge contribution to the Catholic ethos at St Mary’s, offering whole school reflections throughout the year.
We hope you enjoy your visit to our subject area.
God bless.
Mr. Welsh
