Council and democracy

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.
