Does God exist? Why does God allow suffering? Do miracles happen today? Is there life after death? Was Jesus just a good man? Is life sacred? Capital Punishment: Yes or No?

These are just some of the questions we consider as we study key passages in both the Old and the New Testament. We encourage children to develop their understanding of other cultures and an appreciation of different traditions in alternative faiths through looking at Judaism, Islam and Buddhism. Pupils are encouraged to ask questions, to role play and to express their views in hearty debates. Religious Education at Amesbury supports the development of the pupil’s own values combining confidence and a strong sense of self-awareness with concern and respect for others.

Each year group will visit a place of religious significance.  Some of our highlights include:

  • Year 3 visit to Guildford Cathedral
  • Year 4 visit to a Jewish Synagogue
  • Year 5 visit to a Buddhist Temple
  • Year 7 visit to “The Life of Christ” at the Wintershall Estate

In Year 8 the students complete a detailed project on a local church which is submitted to their senior school for Common Entrance.
