SACRE is a statutory body convened by the Local Authority (LA) to offer advice in relation to quality, standards and progress of Religious Education and Collective Worship in community schools.

It is a statutory requirement that SACRE produces an annual report detailing their activities. The report must be sent to the Secretary of State for Education as well as to key partners, including schools and councillors.

The main purpose of the report is to hold the LA to account, by informing the Secretary of State and key partners what advice SACRE gave the LA during the year and how that was responded to. This includes advice on RE and Collective Worship in those schools for which the LA has responsibility.

You can find more information about the work of the group on the SACRE Website
