Religious Education support for schools
During the spring and summer terms, Warwickshire SACRE (Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education) will be conducting Religious Education monitoring visits.
SACRE will use Ofsted and SIAMS (Church school) reports to offer support to schools where Religious Education (RE) or SMSC (Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural) development has been highlighted as an area for improvement.
SACRE would also like to offer schools the opportunity to request an RE monitoring visit. This might be particularly useful to provide an external view in the following circumstances:
- Schools expecting an Ofsted inspection soon
- Schools expecting a SIAMS inspection soon
- RE is on the school development plan
- Schools with no one currently leading on RE
To request a visit, please email Jennifer Jenkins (RE Facilitator for Coventry and Warwickshire) at jenniferjenkins@warwickshire.gov.uk
