Hear from our RS specialist...

"Religious Studies is an essential subject, and not just statutorily-speaking. Every student needs and deserves a solid grounding in this fascinating and endless-rich subject to both equip them for life in a multi-religious and multi-secular global society, and to stimulate their intellectual curiosity about big moral, philosophical, and religious questions.

Alas, RS is all too often squeezed to the margins of the curriculum, and frequently the challenge of teaching this complex subject is given to non-specialists. Propello addresses this by providing robust, reliable, and well-resourced RS content for GCSE that is ready to go. It is designed to reduce the burden of planning and enable teachers to do what they do best – teach.

Most importantly, it aims not just to propel students to academic success but to engage, intrigue and inspire them."
