Membership of Young People on SACRE
Minutes:
The Committee considered whether they should invite young people as a group to come to a meeting of the SACRE to talk about their experience of RE or whether young people should also be appointed as SACRE members.
Several suggestions were put forward:
Ø A group could attend and discuss what they like about RE.
Ø The Chairs of School Councils could attend and talk about RE.
Ø Arrange focus groups to look at teaching and learning, challenges for students in the community around them.
Ø Ask young people how relevant Is RE today?
Mr Yarrow informed the meeting he held a list of all school coordinators and would email this to the Chair and Ms Chaplin.
The Chair and Ms Chaplin agreed to send a letter out to all secondary schools to invite their school councils to discuss questions about their RE experiences and their answers would be brought to a future meeting of the SACRE.
RESOLVED
That a letter be sent to all secondary school councils with questions about their RE experiences.
