The main function of the Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (SACRE) is to advise on religious education (RE) and collective worship. Every council responsible for children's services must have a SACRE committee.

 SACRE:

·         reviews the syllabus for RE on a regular basis

·          offers guidance on resources and methods of teaching in consultation with Thurrock schools

·         monitors the quality of provision for RE and collective acts of worship in Thurrock

Representation on SACRE is according to current religious proportionality in Thurrock.
