Philosophy and Religions
Head of Department: Mr D Jackson
Philosophy of Religions at the Gregg School is taught according to the Hampshire locally agreed syllabus; Living Difference. This syllabus allows students to explore religion and related ideas through a concept cycle. Students will explore concepts relating to the six major world religions as well as other faiths and spiritualties. Students are always encouraged to consider their own beliefs which promotes self-awareness, respect, open-mindedness and appreciation for others. Living Difference is a highly regarded and effective syllabus which:
‘…sets out how to enable students to learn at a higher order level. Students are investigating and applying concepts at every stage in the process of learning. This enables a far higher level of attainment than students were reaching before Living Difference.’
(The Living Difference Evaluation Project Report; Katherine Wedell; February 2009)
