Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (SACRE)
We welcomed the Hertfordshire SACRE yesterday afternoon for their board meeting. We are lucky to have Mrs Macintosh representing Little Green and primary schools across Hertfordshire.

The Hertfordshire Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education (RE) has been created for Herefordshire SACRE and approved by Herefordshire County Council. It provides a syllabus for Religious Education for Herefordshire schools.
Since 1944, all schools have been required to teach RE to all pupils on roll (with the exception that parents have the right to withdraw their children from the subject). Religious Education remains part of the basic curriculum for all pupils.
The syllabus explains the value and purposes of RE for all pupils, and specifies for teachers what shall be taught in each age group. It provides a coherent framework for setting high standards of learning in RE, and enabling pupils to reach their potential in the subject. It parallels the National Curriculum for community schools, but is also recommended for Church schools, academies and free schools.
