Warwickshire County Council have recently reviewed their locally Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education in close consultation with SACRE, as well as teachers and members of local faith communities. The Local Authority is required by law to review the syllabus every five years and all Warwickshire schools that do not have a religious character are required to follow this syllabus.
More information on the 2009 Agreed Syllabus.
The membership of SACRE includes representatives from all the major faith and belief groups that exist in Warwickshire. The co-chairs of the group are Manjit Kaur and Shisham Singh Sahota.
The 1988 Education Act made SACRE a statutory group. It is the duty of SACRE to advise Warwickshire County Council on matters relating to collective worship and RE in community schools and foundation schools that do not have a religious character. It must also advise Warwickshire County Council on recommended teaching methods and resources for RE. |
