SACRE will need to consider the implications of this for the work of an Agreed Syllabus Conference
Minutes:
SACRE were asked to consider the implications of this for the work of an Agreed Syllabus Conference. There was a discussion and concern from some members’ interpretation that the Bishop was not just referring to Church of England Schools and was suggesting a possible veto on any schools not complying with the National Framework.
Eddie Griffith offered to speak to his Church of England colleagues about this and offered to write to the Bishop setting out the concerns of SACRE raised at the meeting.
Members noted that the Excellence and Distinctiveness Report was very useful and was now available on the National Society’s website.
