Religious Education
The National Curriculum
Each local authority sets the curriculum for RE through the SACRE committee.
Thurrock Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (SACRE) is a committee that meets 3 times a year at the Civic Offices, New Road, Grays.
SACRE's main function 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
​
At Thameside Primary School, we follow the Thurrock agreed syllabus for RE; there are discrete units of learning. The curriculum provides pupils with a broad and clear knowledge of the key faiths, teaching them to respect the views and faiths of others.
