Hello I’m in year 9 and I’m wondering what are the rules of dropping a compulsory subject.
I would like to drop re but I’m not sure how to, on my school website it says All students undertake the R.E. GCSE from Year 9. The final exam is sat at the end of Year 10.
Can someone explain what they mean by this and if I’m allowed to drop it, and anything I can do like bring a parent into school

Don’t think you can drop a compulsory subject. You have to either take GCSE RE or you have to move to a different school that doesn’t make RE compulsory (and I’m not really sure if any schools like that still exist, tbh).

What reason would you give for dropping it? You can't claim it's because don't believe in it. As all RE GCSEs involve more than one religion everyone doesn't believe in some of it.

When you say “didn’t offer”, are you saying that you couldn’t even pick it at your school? That’s weird…

How on earth do they decide who gets to go in top set to do philosophy? Do they just look at the student as a whole or do they base it on how they performed in RE in earlier years? Either way, that seems like a bizarre thing to do.

RS isn't a course in religious scripture requiring belief, it's a course in comparative religion considering world religions from an academic viewpoint. This is important in fostering cultural awareness, tolerance, and acceptance, which is a key skill you will require well beyond your GCSEs in your personal and professional life. I think it might be a national curriculum requirement in any case to provide RS at all key stages anyway so the government mandate it in any case. Even if you didn't do a GCSE in it you would still be required to attend lessons in the area.
As such I doubt you will be able to drop it, and even if you could you ought not to.
