How we teach GCSE Religious Education

1) Core Exam Skills (4/5/12 Markers)

What you’ll learn: how to explain, apply, and evaluate using the assessment objectives (AO1/AO2).
How we help:

  • A repeatable structure for 12 markers: 2–3 points for + 2–3 points against + judgement

  • PEEL paragraphs (Point → Evidence → Explain → Link) that stay on the question

  • How to use key terms accurately so your writing sounds top-band

2) Beliefs & Teachings (Religion 1 and Religion 2)

(Tailored to your school—commonly Christianity + Islam, but we can adapt to any.)

A) Core beliefs

What you’ll learn: nature of God, creation, the afterlife, salvation, prophets, revelation, authority, sin, judgement.
How we help:

  • Clear “belief → meaning → impact” explanations

  • How to include scripture/teachings without forcing it

  • Comparison practice: similarities/differences between religions

B) Practices

What you’ll learn: worship, prayer, festivals, places of worship, pilgrimage, rites of passage, religious life in the modern world.
How we help:
