Religious Studies is taught to all pupils in the school from Years 7-9. For those who choose the subject for GCSE (Years 10 and 11) a course offered by the OCR examining body is selected. In the Sixth Form, pupils who choose the AS and A level Religious Studies specifications are able to treat the subject as an academic discipline by developing knowledge and understanding appropriate to a special study of religion. The teaching is academic and non-confessional in approach.

Religious Studies in Years 7-9 enables pupils to know and understand the beliefs and practices of Christianity and at least two other religions. It helps them develop informed opinions of their value to themselves and to others. As an Independent School we aim to remain fully aware of national developments so that we can apply the best aspects of such developments to our own syllabus which conforms to that developed by QCA and the Devon agreed syllabus.
