These resources and login details are available to all students through the library firefly pages.
For those students who want more Religion and Philosophy time outside the classroom the department has run a philosophy discussion group in clubs and societies time. The department also runs after school lectures on a variety of topics. Recent topics have included the death penalty in the USA, Christianity and the holocaust and the ethics of fertility treatment. Over the years we have some impressive external speakers including A.C. Grayling, Dr Keith Ward and Dr James Orr.
We run a thought for the day competition in school for year 7, which this year was judged by Chine McDonald.
