Key Stage 3: Years 8, 9 and 10
We create our own specifications with some reference to the Irish Catechetical Programme published by Veritas. This is a continuation of the ‘Alive O’ series from Primary School.
Year 8: Fully Alive 1
Year 9: Fully Alive 2
Year 10: Fully Alive 3
Our programme has an academic content and a strong catechetical emphasis. The aim is to build a solid knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith and our mission in the world.
Across the Key Stage, we have created units of work which include the Bible, Sacraments, Prayer, Church Life, Morality, Church History, Theology, World Religions and Service.
Prayer and worship are central to the daily life of an R.E class and we also prepare weekly Assembly.

If any parent/ carer wishes to discuss withdrawal from any aspect of our Religious Education provision, please make an appointment with the VP Curriculum, Learning and Teaching to discuss arrangements.
Arrangements will depend on the Key Stage and the nature of the withdrawal and may include an alternative supervised setting, independent study within the class, or a bespoke curriculum dependent on the individual needs of the student and the nature of the request.
