What are the duties of the SACRE?

SACRE 's main duty is to advise the local authority on religious education and collective worship for the schools within its remit and:

  • requires the local authority to review its agreed syllabus every five years
  • considers requests from schools to be released from the requirement to provide collective worship that is wholly or mainly of a broadly Christian character (a determination)
  • publishes an annual report of its work
  • monitors the provision and quality of the agreed syllabus, and of collective worship
  • meets in public, unless confidential information is to be disclosed
  • records minutes of all meetings
  • provides advice and support on teaching the agreed syllabus

Who belongs to SACRE?

SACRE is made up of four groups or committees  known as ‘the Council’ that represent interests in the local community:

  • Group A: representatives of Christian denominations and other religions reflecting the principal religious traditions of the area
  • Group B: Church of England representatives
  • Group C: teacher representatives (often from the teacher associations)
  • Group D: local authority (LA) representatives (often Councillors) 

Each group or committee must be represented on ‘the Council’. Members may be nominated by appropriate organisations but are appointed by ‘the Council’. Other members may be co-opted. 

Why is there a SACRE?

Local authorities were given the power to set up SACRE s to decide what was taught in RE (also called religious instruction, religious knowledge, scripture or divinity) when religious education became a compulsory subject on the curriculum in 1944. The 1988 Education Act confirmed religious education as part of the basic curriculum and it became a duty for every local authority (LA) to appoint a SACRE . The Children’s Services division of the LA is responsible for making sure there is a SACRE .

Religious education is the only compulsory subject in schools that is locally determined. The DfE (Department for Education) or QCDA (Qualifications and Curriculum Development Authority) do not decide centrally what religious education is taught in schools.

Religious Education Syllabus

This RE syllabus is a collection of medium term plans based on 11 Christian theological concepts.

Each concept is built on progressively from Reception to Year 6.

Schools in the Diocese of Chester have contributed to the writing and trialling of these plans and their input and feedback has been much valued in the completion of the final scheme.

The syllabus contains:

  •  A long term overview to showing the concepts to be studied. Schools may choose to study the concepts in any order and adapt the material. The concepts that are linked to the cycle of the Church’s Year are  Incarnation, Salvation, Resurrection  and  Holy Spirit . Schools with mixed age classes can adapt the plans to suit their requirements. The overview also shows links to PowerPoint resources which are found on the Schools website for Family of Schools members. Links are also given to the national  Understanding Christianity  Project.  
  • Individual concept grids for each concept which include enquiry questions and essential knowledge. These are designed for use from Reception to Year 6.  
  • Medium term planning samples for all concepts. Each medium term plan indicates which term and concept it is designed for.

NB  Some medium term plans have not been written in order for teachers to use their own resources and hopefully fully use and integrate the new ‘Understanding Christianity’ resources. These plans are highlighted on the long term overview.

Whilst not being part of the National Curriculum it is mandatory that schools in the UK encounter Religious Education through a class lesson and school assemblies each week. Collective Worship is legally required to take place every school day and ‘shall be wholly or mainly of a broadly Christian character’ (1988 Education Act).The Religious Education syllabus is set by local education authorities and at Egerton we follow the Cheshire East syllabus and Scheme of Work.

Religion and personal beliefs are key to making each individual who they are. As a non-faith school we aim to explain the beliefs behind three different religions as set out in the Cheshire East scheme of work. We do not aim to persuade children to choose a religion, it is for parents or each individual, as they become mature, to make these decisions for themselves. This makes the children more aware and accepting of the different lives and choices of others and gives them an insight as to how many of the festivals celebrated in our multi-cultural society came to be.

At Egerton we focus on three main religions. From Reception to Year 6 all children are taught about Christianity. This may be through assemblies led by members of the Knutsford churches, or through class lessons. A variety of other religious festivals may be visited during a child’s time at Egerton, depending on the interests of individuals in the cohort. From Year 2 Hinduism is added to the curriculum, and throughout Key Stage 2 Judaism is also included. Whilst these are the key religions studied, other religions, such as Islam and Buddism, may be visited by your child during their time at Egerton. Lessons are enhanced through role-play, visits and hands on experiences with religious artefacts.

Below, you will find the Curriculum and Outcomes attached for this subject.

This document lists how the objectives of the National Curriculum are covered throughout each year group and each half-term. You will also find an overview of the subject areas covered and the key outcomes expected for each child to be considered working at the expected standard.

Alongside this document, staff utilise the vocabulary and skills progression created by subject leaders during their planning and assessment. These progression documents are in place to ensure that all learning is differentiated appropriately, builds upon previous years and leads into the next, and fully covers the National Curriculum and beyond.

RE Curriculum

Religious education curriculum statement.

Children follow ‘The Way, The Truth and The Life’ scheme of work. They enjoy the creative, practical lessons which motivate and inspire them to discuss and explore a wide range of themes covered within the programmes of study.

In Year Three pupils are supported in the preparation to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communon.

“Following the footsteps of Jesus – excellence in a nurturing and exciting environment”

The primary purpose of Catholic Religious Education is to come to know and understand God’s revelation which is fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ.’

(Religious Education Curriculum Directory (3-19) for Catholic Schools and Colleges in England and Wales 2012)

At St Clare’s Catholic Primary School, Religious Education is central to the life of our school.  We aim to educate our children and guide them in becoming religiously literate young people who will, in turn, pass on the gift of faith to future generations. We want every child to be a happy and enthusiastic learner of RE, and to be eager to achieve their very best in order to fulfil their God-given talents. We firmly believe that the recipe for success is high quality teaching in RE, which is central to the life of our happy, caring and nurturing school.

At St Clare’s Catholic Primary School, we are committed to our Catholic Faith and provide a nurturing environment that reflects the teachings of the church. Our children are taught by example to grow as happy, responsible, independent, creative and adaptable young people, showing tolerance among themselves and towards others. We seek to develop an ethos whereby the spiritual, moral, social and cultural needs of all within the school community are supported.

The ‘Way, the Truth and the Life’ is the RE scheme recommended by the Shrewsbury Diocese and used at our school.  It is firmly rooted in scripture and presents Catholicism as a world Church, open to the truth in other religions and it encourages learners to engage with and discuss the big issues in our world today.

The centrality of the Mass in the lives of Catholics is present throughout the teaching and learners can explore this together in ways that are appropriate for each age group. The scheme of work presents children with meaningful activities, requiring a wide range of skills, which help to develop their religious understanding and knowledge and encourage their appreciation of Christ’s most wonderful gift to us.

Implementation

Religious Education is at the centre of everything we do as a Catholic school and permeates through every aspect of the curriculum and school life. We ensure that a minimum of 10% of Curriculum time is allocated for RE teaching across all key stages. The requirements of the RE curriculum are met through the scheme ‘The Way the Truth and The Life’ which in turn meets the requirements of the Religious Education Curriculum Directory set out by the Bishop’s Conference of England Wales. All requirements at St Clare’s are met at a standard that equals or is better than those of Literacy at all key stages and Foundation stage.

Through the high standard and exceptional teaching of RE, pupils are inspired to become critical thinkers and to reflect deeply upon their own faith journey. They are challenged through the topics taught, to think about how they put the teachings of the church and Jesus into practise in their own daily lives. The children are encouraged to continually think about their own spirituality and teachers plan opportunities for children to explore this through discussion, lesson, prayer and weekly Prayer and Liturgy. A high priority is given to the formation of pupils in their understanding of, involvement in and service to building the Kingdom of God and taking care of our common home.

Each phase uses the RE level descriptors from the Bishops’ conference to assess the attainment of the children and their progress is tracked on a termly basis. Teachers also highlight ‘I can statements’ which reflect the children’s learning across a unit. The children’s work in moderated by staff across the school termly to ensure judgements are well evidenced and verified. Children’s work is assessed not only on the content of their assessment piece but on their individual, group and oral work through each topic. This enables both class teachers and the subject leader to monitor coverage and identify progress made throughout the pupils’ time at school.

Each unit begins with a ‘cold task’ to assess the children’s prior knowledge and at the end of each unit of work a ‘hot task’ is completed to measure progress through the topic. This is used as a monitoring and assessment tool by teachers and a self-assessment tool by pupils.

What is the impact of our curriculum on the pupils?

  • They are well prepared for the next stage of their education as confident and enthusiastic learners who are witness to Christ in their words and actions
  • They are happy learners within RE. They experience a wide-ranging number of learning challenges in RE and know appropriate responses to them.
  • They produce good quality work which they are proud of.

  • They talk enthusiastically about their learning in RE and are eager to further their learning in the next stages of their education.
  • There is a proven track record of success in assessments that reflects the impact of deep learning.
  • There are clear outcomes focus and guide all RE development plans and drive improvement.
  • The majority of children are working at age related expectations by the end of EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
  • They will develop their relationship with God and become religiously literate.
  • Are confident, resilient and actively engaged in the wider society.
  • Are happy, well rounded individuals who have developed a deep-rooted relationship with God and understanding of their Catholic faith.

Religious Studies

‘All children need to acquire core knowledge and understanding of the beliefs and practices of the religions and worldviews which not only shape their history and culture but which guide their own development. The modern world needs young people who are sufficiently confident in their own beliefs and values that they can respect the religious and cultural differences of others, and contribute to a cohesive and compassionate society.’  (The Right Hon, Michael Gove, former Secretary of State for Education, 2013 RE Review and new 'non-statutory' National Curriculum Framework for RE)

Religious Studies is a fundamental subject in the education of pupils in England. It helps build young people’s understanding and appreciation of different beliefs, worldviews, practices and religions, and how these relate to the modern world.  It asks provoking and challenging questions about the meaning and purpose of life, beliefs about God, issues of right and wrong and what it means to be human.  Religious Studies explores personal beliefs and opinions and aids pupils with their own personal social, cultural, spiritual and moral development.  It aims to equip pupils with the knowledge and understanding so that they can positively participate with respect and tolerance within our diverse culture.

Our course is very much a personalised one and is adapted to build on your personal strengths and provide the knowledge and experiences you need to develop into an outstanding teacher of Religious Studies. 

Learning in a classroom requires professionalism, organisation, planning, preparation and excellent subject knowledge.  Trainees will experience lessons across all age and ability ranges within Religious Studies, as well as a range of Humanities subjects to ensure that they have the best experience to be employable.  Across, the partnership you will work alongside an experienced team of Religious Studies teachers and the wider Humanities Faculties, who have proven ability to ensure achievement for all students.

Schemes of Work for teaching RE to all key stages

We know that planning schemes of work is a laborious and time consuming job for busy teachers, which is why we have created ready-to-use schemes made up of 35 units for Primary schools and 15 units for Secondary schools.

You can view the full list of units here .

Units include lots of teaching and learning ideas, links to useful resources, learning outcomes and assessment guidance and suggestions. Each unit offers on average eight hours of classroom ideas.

We have created these units of work to support its syllabus model A, currently in use in a number of local authorities. However, they offer a resource to support you in teaching RE wherever you are in the country, even if your syllabus is not an RE Today model.

Our Schemes of Work are a resource offering a range of ideas for your classroom. They do not supersede your agreed syllabus.

Cheshire East RE Agreed Syllabus 2022-2027 (Statutory)

Resource default image

An agreed syllabus specifies the religious education to be taught in schools within an authority. All schools are required to teach the agreed syllabus with the exception of Voluntary Aided schools and those with a trust deed that specifies otherwise. SACRE review the syllabus every five years at an Agreed Syllabus Conference.  

An academy may choose to adopt a locally agreed syllabus, but is not required to. It may adopt a different area’s agreed syllabus or develop its own, as long as it reflects the funding agreement and meets the requirements for such a syllabus as set out in section 375(3) of the Education Act 1996 and paragraph 5 of schedule 19 to the School Standards and Framework Act 1998.

Each term the local SACRE provides a RE Subject Leaders network to support teacher collaboration and also an online network meeting with the SACRE RE Consultant. Look out for details of training opportunities below.
