Issue - meetings

To receive a presentation by Denise Chaplin.

Denise Chaplin explained to the Committee that the Curriculum review had started with the non statutory framework for RE and that other subjects had been formulated so that they had similar sections to RE.  One or two parts of the RE sections were new and proposed revised sections, e.g. RE and the Every Child Matters agenda.  However, it was very positive that this time RE was included and no changes to the Non Statutory Framework had been proposed.  Concern had been raised in some RE discussions that the proposals to bring subjects together might lead to less coherence if RE was merged into other lessons.

Members were urged to view the site in detail, particularly for RE and requested to complete the online consultation survey before 30 April 2007.

RESOLVED

That members complete the online consultation survey by 30 April 2007 www.qca.org.uk/secondarycurriculumreview/
