NASACRE AGM 2014

Location: London
Venue: Methodist Central Hall, Westminster
Date: May 22nd 2014
Time: 10:00-3:30
Theme: RISING TO THE CHALLENGE
Keynote speaker: Mr Stephen Lloyd, MP. Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on RE

Many were impressed and stirred by Mark Chater’s erudite challenges to SACREs at last year’s AGM. This year’s AGM will be looking at the state of play in RE and education more generally from the perspective of Stephen Lloyd, Chair of the APPG and John Keast, who will then be the retired Chair of the REC and will provide his frank and perceptive overview to end proceedings.

Sandwiched between these two keynotes, we want to showcase the work of SACREs in rising to some of the challenges raised. We would like to have about 4-6 brief presentations by SACREs on work they are doing in any of the following areas, that show innovation, engagement and challenge:

1. Work to support teachers to provide meaningful and challenging RE
2. Involving wider representation (faith/belief/universities/academies)
3. Pupil/student involvement
4. Meeting the challenges of the new curriculum settlement

We know there is really good work going on and this needs to be shared, so please volunteer to do so at the AGM by emailing Bill Moore (bmoore@learningtrust.net) by March 31^st 2014. Simply send in your SACRE name, a contact, which of the above areas you are addressing and a brief outline of what you are doing.

Further information and details about how to book will follow in the next issue.
