Religious Studies Trip to Chichester Cathedral
Last week our Year 10 RS GCSE pupils visited Chichester Cathedral to take part in an immersive GCSE Religious Studies Day. The pupils were impeccable - they asked deep and thought provoking questions, were beautifully behaved and mature in how they conducted themselves around places of worship. The day was spent learning how two differing Churches - the Cathedral (Church of England) and Revelation Church (non-denominational) navigate the practices of baptism, communion and prayer whilst still showing a united approach through Christianity.
For some pupils it was the first time they have stepped inside a Christian place of worship, for some it was especially exciting as we had access to places in the Cathedral they always wanted to look at, including the high altar.
Two comments made about our pupils on Friday: one by the organiser, Rosie, and one of the Cathedral volunteers. Rosie mentioned how wonderful our pupils were and that all the Study Day team were impressed with how impeccable they were. One Cathedral volunteer is a retired head teacher from a local school who said 'your pupils make me want to return to teaching'.
