All Saints Catholic High School 6-16 Amhurst Park London N16 5AFReligious Education is the "core of the core curriculum" in a Catholic school (Pope St John Paul II). This helps the school to fulfill its mission to educate the whole person in discerning the meaning of their existence, since "Religious Education is concerned not only with intellectual knowledge but also includes emotional and affective learning. It is in the mystery of the Word made flesh that the mystery of what it is to be human truly becomes clear.
The Key Stage 3 curriculum focuses upon both Catholic teaching and spiritual life, and the study of other major world religions. It also lays the foundation for the GCSE course.
