Our TPR syllabus aims to give pupils the opportunity to study the foundational biblical texts of the Judeo-Christian tradition, to learn to reason, argue and evaluate claims made by religious and non-religious belief systems, and to consider the theological, philosophical and religious responses to moral issues.
The Roman Catholicism syllabus studies the foundational biblical texts for Roman Catholic Christianity, develops understanding of the beliefs, values, traditions and history of Roman Catholicism and develops skills relevant to the study of religion.
We Would like to remind schools of the importance of registering candidates for the right paper, so that the correct papers are sent to schools.

In this session on the new ISEB CE 13+ Theology, Philosophy and Religion specification, subject specialist Michael Wilcockson will explore philosophers from outside of the specification, with a particular focus on feminist philosophy and issues of gender. With the new specification allowing candidates to answer questions on a broad range of philosophers, this webinar will help you incorporate preparation for this into your second-year teaching. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask our expert any questions you may have about the new Theology, Philosophy and Religion specification.
