The course does not assume or require any previous study of Religious Studies. The course is open to candidates from any religious background and success in this subject will in no way depend upon a candidate’s religious beliefs or lack of them. In fact, of almost two hundred and fifty pupils who have gained A-Level RS at WHGS, only about half would claim to hold religious beliefs themselves.

The department will provide students with text books and a range of additional resources to encourage students to read widely around each topic. There are a range of ‘revision’ style books commercially available for both at GCSE and A Level, however not all are relevant to the topics covered by our students. The department recommends the following additional guides should you wish to buy your own copy:
