Agenda

Bill Moore, Professional Adviser to Slough SACRE, is kindly joining us for this meeting as a guest.

3.1 Professional Advisor

To sign and approve as a correct record the Minutes of the meeting of SACRE held on 11 March 2025.

7.1 Report from Independent Examiner

7.2 West Berkshire Syllabus

Attached to this item are our current version agreed in October, and also a new version recently agreed by Wokingham SACRE and being considered by the other SACREs. 

The differences from our version are highlighted in the Wokingham version.  The main changes are:

a)    At UKS2 Judaism and Hindu Dharma are now the recommended faiths, with schools choosing to add Islam or Sikhi if they want. This is the opposite way round from our version.

b)    Some of the resources for Judaism recommended in our version have been removed.

RECOMMENDATION: That members of the press and public be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the following items as it is likely that there would be disclosure of exempt information of the description contained in the paragraphs of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 specified in brackets in the heading of each item. Section 10 of Part 10 of the Constitution refers.
