Report of the Executive Director, People

Minutes:

The Cabinet Member considered a report of the Director of Education and Inclusion Service which sought approval to the appointment of a representative of the Coventry Quakers (group 2) to the Coventry Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education (SACRE).

 

SACRE was established under the Education Reform Act 1988 and comprises four Groups; a Church of England Group (Group 1); a group representing other Christian denominations and other Faiths which reflect the principal religious traditions in the area (Group 2); a group representing teachers (Group 3) and a group representing the City Council (Group 4).

 

The City Council is responsible for appointing members to the 4 statutory Groups which comprise SACRE. The current membership was attached at appendix 1 of the report.

 

The purpose of SACRE is to advise the Local Authority on matters concerning religious education in community schools and the religious education provision to be made in accordance with an Agreed Syllabus. These matters may include methods of teaching, training for teachers, and choice of materials and resources.

 

The membership of Group 2 of SACRE is currently under represented. Eleanor Nesbitt of Coventry Quakers has been nominated by the Coventry Quaker Meeting and the Clerk to the Quaker Meeting if fully supportive of the recommendation.

 

RESOLVED that the Cabinet Member (Education) approves the appointment of Eleanor Nesbitt to Group 2 of the Coventry Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education for a period of four years as the representative of Coventry Quakers.
