Starting this week, Year 13 will be studying the controversial topic of Jihad.
This topic requires a great deal of sensitivity on the part of all students and for each of us to put aside media portrayals of Jihad and any preconceived ideas we may have formed to date.
By the end of the topic, students will have a fuller understanding of what The Holy Quran refers to as the Lesser Jihad and Greater Jihad.

Having watched the media clip, comment on your understanding of the terms 'Lesser Jihad' and 'Greater Jihad.'

Atheism and Postmodernism
Year 12 are currently studying Atheism and Postmodernism, the last lesson looked at Neitzsche's slogan 'God is Dead'
To understand his key beliefs, we have posted the following BBC documentary. This provides an overview of Friedrich Nietzsche, the German philosopher of the late 19th century who challenged the foundations of Christianity and traditional morality. He believed in life, creativity, health, and the realities of the world we live in, rather than those situated in a world beyond.
We would like you to explain, what you think Nietzche was trying to say by stating 'God is Dead'
