Theology is a fascinating subject that explores some of the most profound questions about human existence. At New Hall, Theology is a very popular option at A Level because the subject is delivered in an engaging, thought-provoking way and the Department’s results are outstanding. A Level Religious Studies builds upon the skills and knowledge acquired at GCSE, but develops them further by engaging with important theological, moral and philosophical questions.
