Introduction
Local authorities have a duty to establish a Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (SACRE) to advise them on matters relating to collective worship in community schools and on religious education. Religious education is a statutory part of the basic curriculum for all pupils.
SACRE publishes support materials, approves a programme of training for teachers and sponsors or supports other projects, which it deems to be consistent with its responsibility to promote religious education and spiritual, moral, social and cultural education in schools. Each year Cambridgeshire SACRE submits a report of its activities to the National Association of SACREs (NASACRE).
SACRE meetings
SACRE meetings are held at least once a term. The meetings in 2025 will be held as follows:
- 15 January 2025 4.30pm-6.30pm
- 12 June 2025 4.30pm-6.30pm
If members of the public would like to attend any of the above meetings, please contact the clerk to SACRE to request further details/meeting link - laura.schneikert@peterborough.gov.uk.
