Hull SACRE

(Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education)

The SACRE’s main function is to advise the local authority (LA) on matters related to the religious education, which follows the locally agreed syllabus, and on collective worship in schools. It:
•    can require the LA to review its agreed syllabus;
•    must consider applications from a head teacher that the school be allowed to modify the ‘wholly or mainly of a broadly Christian character’ requirement for collective worship. (This is known as a determination.);
•    must publish an annual report of its work.

A SACRE's broad role is to support good Religious Education (RE) and collective worship within its schools by:

•    giving advice on ways of teaching the agreed syllabus for RE, including the choice of teaching materials;
•    monitoring schools’ provision for RE and collective worship as well as the spiritual, moral,
•    social and cultural development (SMSC) of pupils;
•    advising the LA on the provision of training for teachers in RE;
•    considering complaints about the provision and delivery of religious education or collective worship referred to it by the LA.
•    monitoring good practice in the delivery of the agreed syllabus in a range of ways and take note of any difficulties;
•    disseminating good practice in the teaching of RE;
•    reviewing provision for in-service training and development;
•    receiving school inspection reports or sections of these reports.
