We were taught it year 1 -> 8 at my school (It goes from reception to upper sixth) then you could select it for year 9 then go on to choose it for GCSE

[drama]

RE is done for from year 7-9, then a GCSE option is Philosophy and ethics, and those who don't do it have to do 5 core re days a year.


i do P+E though :8

Excuse me? What do you mean special measures

[Florx]

Yes our school does unfortunatly its so boring. Im atheist and I could not care less no offence.

[,Jess,]

Yah, my school is a Church of England one anyway so they were big on the whole religion thing. It was compulsory to do the short course at GCSE and then you could chose (which I did) to do full course as well. At the 6th form it wasn't compulsory but I carried it on though because it covers all religions and a big part is philosophy/ethics which makes it interesting really.

[Abbie.]

yeaa

our schools a protestant school.. well maybe theres catholics, but idk

everyone has to do RE until alevel..

[Nick.]

As if, we were told that by law we had to do one hour of R.E a week from year 7 all the way until we finish year 11. That sucks :@

[Blue]

Yep, go to a catholic school and forced to do RE.

My shcool used to be on special measures, it's where it's basically deamed so crap by ofsted, that someone gets involved to make it do better.

What a load of balls. I dont have to do R.S/R.E and i'm in year 10

[brapp]

yeah we do it's pointless imo.

[Abbie.]

i think its important for it to be taught in Northern Ireland

[e5]

R.E, yes :P

[mangle]

RE, don't pay attention in it!

I see it as a relaxting period.

In my school you do it once a week from Y7-Y9 then in Y9-Y11 you can do it as an option (then you do it 2 times a week) or do the compulsory one (once every 2 weeks).

[kerplunkwozere]

rpe was compulsory at my school and they stuck me in full course ;l

[Inseriousity.]

Yes, I find it interesting. I'm doing it at A Level anyway. :D

[Blinger1]

Religious Education (RE) was taught to me in primary school, where you chose if you were catholic or christian. Being catholic was boring because they made the classes slow, christians go to do fun things like eat food, play games and stuff.

In Switzerland it was compulsary for both primary and secondary school, plus going to church once a week >_<!

[Eamonn]

at my school it's something like 2 lessons for year 7-9
buttt for year 10-11 its 3 lessons cus it's a compulsory full GCSE.

[Soups]

I use to, I never chose it though for my GCSE as all we done was watch simpsons movies or talk about going on holiday.

[Frodo13.]

It's compulsory from Years 7-11 at my school, and you get a full GCSE at the end of Year 11. Obviously you can drop it for your A Levels.

[alexxxxx]

We have to do it for a GCSE (only once a week tho.)

[Kardan]

It was compulsory up to GCSE for me.

[buttons]

in year 11 you can drop it or have core RMPS i dunno how much lessons it is. You have to do it up till year 10 but i dropped it 'cause my mum would rather I was studying rather then learning about something i don't need, so idk whats actually taught there..

[Abbie.]

i did RE short course for GCSE

it was mostly common sence,

drugs, abortion, random bible questions, church furniture etc

twas a doddle

2 marks off an A :(.

[Frodo13.]

Yes it is, and you gain a full GCSE in it after Year 11. It angers me when people are negative against Religion, I think it's vital to be able to understand people of different races/beliefs/religions.

[cocaine]

yeah, from years 7 - 9, and you have the option to take it for GCSE or drop it

[Nereo]

Yeah we had it when I was at school, I found it boring and I didnt like it :D

[Krusty]

YEAH

tis called R.E
Religious Education

no-one pays attention
its crap :(
you have to do it for gcse aswell!

[RandomManJay]

Like most have been saying, years 7-9 is compulsory, then you can either take it at GCSE full course or half course, you have to take one of them though, so if you don't pick full, your in half :S. Now I'm in Sixth Form, we have an R.E day once a term. It's so our timetables aren't crowed with a lesson we could put to better use. So once a term, we get to sit in a hall for 6 hours doing crap we already know, its fun though because we choose the topic in advance and just do random crap and not listen to what's actually going on. Our team always makes a mascot from the stuff we're supposed to use for the activities (after we've done with them of course :rolleyes:). This is our last one :P

We get very bored.

[RyanDOT]

Yeh, part of GCSE as well :(

[Jinc]

I had to do it when I was doing GCSEs

Got an A* \o/

[Breakfloor]

yeh, we do RE. we always have. its my favourite lesson ;D

[Recursion]

Yeh, our school calls it "Religious Studies", damn boring, but I guess thats what you get for going to a Catholic School when your not a Catholic. We don't even get to drop it for GCSE :/

[luce]

Yeah we have it called RS like the person above :D
I think it should be tought its not just religion, its the worlds currunt and past issues. And other peoples way of life. i intend to keep it right through A Leavl til i go to UNI. We also can't drop it for GCSE which i think is right :)
