@Amrapaali given the role of religion in many conflicts around the world and in the dismantling of women’s rights from the US to Afghanistan, I would have thought that Religious Studies is highly relevant for many future career paths.

A disciplined approach to the study of religion may also be very helpful to anyone interested in current politics, as evidenced by Helen Lewis’s recent excellent programme on R4

Query - how many of students who work 'all hours' (as was indicated around the reporting of Brampton Manor's success in A-level results and Oxbridge entries) end up working beyond their natural capability (even if very bright) and then, when e.g. doing medicine, realise that that is not really for them or that they can't quite keep up. I worry with the UK and it's very narrow focus on just 3 or 4 subjects at A-level that you don't really always get the super brightest (which I'd want for a surgeon e.g.) but those who are very bright but work like stink to pass exams?
