How SACRE can support schools in Warwickshire
SACRE is the Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education and is a statutory body responsible for advising the local authority on religious education (RE) and collective worship in community and foundation schools without a religious character.
There is a wide range of support available to all schools from SACRE - please find further information of this support and how to access it below:
- Monitoring Visits - especially helpful for an external view of your RE provision if you are expecting an Ofsted or SIAMS inspection soon. Email jenniferjenkins@warwickshire.gov.uk to arrange a visit.
- RE Subject Knowledge Enhancement Programme plus digital materials to use at staff meetings - coming soon (see page two of the October mid-term RE bulletin for details of the programme).
- Support for making RE visits to places of worship and arranging visitors - the SACRE website features a recently updated list of suggested places to visit and faith speakers in the 'Useful Resources' section. Please note you will require a password to access this document which can be obtained from Jane Bennett by emailing sacre@warwickshire.gov.uk
- Additional resources to support teaching of the syllabus and materials from past RE subject leader twilight sessions - available here (these documents are also password protected - please see contact above to request access)
Please note, Jennifer Jenkins, RE Facilitator, will respond to emails as quickly as possible however there may sometimes be a delay as she only works in this role for one day a week (usually on Thursdays).
