SACRE
The Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education (SACRE) is a statutory body which has the responsibility for overseeing RE and collective worship in Bradford maintained schools and to advise the LEA on related matters.
By Law, it consists of four committees:
- Religions and denominations
- The Church of England
- Teacher Associations
- The Local Education Authority
The last committee includes four elected members:
- Councillor Sajawal Hussain (Labour)
- Councillor Naveeda Ikram (Labour)
- Councillor Jeanette Sunderland (Liberal Democrat)
- Councillor Elaine Byrom (Conservative)
Bradford’s SACRE has a very wide range of representatives including the major faiths, most Christian denominations and a co-opted representative from the Humanist Association. It was subject to an inspection by Her Majesty’s Inspectors in 2003. The first of its findings stated: Bradford SACRE, through its excellent partnership with Education Bradford, has many strengths and it is highly effective. Much of its practice is very innovative and imaginative and has rightly gained a national and international reputation.
The SACRE meets five times a year, usually at the Interfaith Education Centre on Listerhills Road, and is open to the public.
