Religious Education is facing many challenges within the present education system. It is an exciting and relevant subject which plays a major role in helping children to contribute to a cohesive and compassionate society.

A good A-level pass in Religious Studies would also be beneficial and students should be able to demonstrate a genuine interest in and enthusiasm for Religious Education at interview.
