Launch of the new Warwickshire Agreed RE Syllabus

We are pleased to inform schools that we will be launching the new Warwickshire Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education in July, in time for implementation in schools for September 2017.
 
After considering a number of options, Coventry and Warwickshire SACREs (Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education) agreed to purchase a five-year licence for the RE Today Model Agreed Syllabus for all schools that follow the local syllabus - this includes primary, secondary and special maintained schools and academies. 
 
Additional units will be written to accompany the model syllabus to ensure it reflects the local context of both Coventry and Warwickshire authorities. These units along with the syllabus itself will be available free of charge to those schools mentioned above.
 
Launch Events - July 2017
 
The syllabus will officially be launched at three events to be held in July:
 
Mon 3 July at The Welcome Centre, Coventry
 
Mon 10 July at The Christian Centre, Bedworth
 
Tue 11 July at Stratford-upon-Avon Racecourse
 
To book your place on one of these events please follow one of the links at the bottom of this page.
 
The events will be a one-day conference, led by RE Today, to introduce teachers to the new Agreed Syllabus. It will focus on practical classroom ideas and strategies, enabling teachers to get to grips with the new syllabus and how to apply it in their schools.
 
On the day, schools will receive a hard copy of the syllabus. Copies of all resources used on the day will be available to take away. A wide range of resources will be available to purchase or order on the day including a full set of scheme of work to support this syllabus. 
 
Who are the events for?
The launch events are aimed at teachers of RE from primary and secondary schools, including subject leaders, Heads of RE, HLTAs and headteachers.
 
How do I book?
 
There are limited places at each of the events so please book to confirm your place. You may attend any one of the locations regardless of your local authority area. Please click on one of the links below to register your details and confirm your place:
