religious studies
Key Stage 4

All students must have one hour of RS a week, and at Ysgol Rhiwabon we feel all students should be credited for this hard work so all students are entered for half a GCSE.

These are the units that all students follow in years 10 and 11.

Religion and Life Issues
  Unit Content
Short Course (Option A) Unit 1: Relationships Love, Marriage and Divorce
Unit 2 : Is it fair? Prejudice, Responsibilty, Wealth, Justice and Equality
Unit 3: Looking for Meaning God, Life and Death
Unit 4 : Our World Creation, Our Place, Environment and Animal Rights



When students opt for full course RS they then complete these following 4 units along side the top units to gain the full GCSE.

These units cover relevant and contemporary issues that teach about tolerance and understanding within our ever changing society.

Unit 2: Religion and Medicine Medical Ethics, Sanctity of Life (Abortion, Genetics, Transplants)
