Propello UK | Religious Studies Curriculum for KS3 Religious Studies

Propello makes it possible to deliver high-standard KS3 Religious Studies (RS) within limited lesson time and times when you may be without a subject specialist. The KS3 curriculum feeds into GCSE AQA specifications so that teaching has a clear and straightforward focus on what pupils need to learn. So you can be certain you’re setting a scheme of study that covers relevant topics and foundational concepts.

Propello provides all you need to prepare thought-provoking lessons, deliver in-class activity, and set homework that helps pupils progress outside the classroom.

Hear from our RS specialist...

"At the heart of our Religious Studies KS3 course is a commitment to exploring the interaction between current issues and the multitude of perspectives that influence and shape our world. By bridging the religious and non-religious realms, we strive to provide students with a holistic understanding of diverse viewpoints.

Our RS KS3 program comprehensively explores Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism as religious studies. Additionally, it delves into philosophical and ethical topics, ranging from dissecting the complexities of animal rights to addressing issues of prejudice and discrimination. Moreover, it engages with arguments such as the problem of evil, whether death is the end, the cosmological and design arguments, and more.

The KS3 RS curriculum helps students develop analytical skills and cultivates an understanding of diverse world views, providing crucial support for the AQA GCSE RS course. Our KS3 RS course will empower and prepare students not only for success in education but throughout their life and engagement with the complexities of the human experience."
