Summary

The Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (SACRE) of Ealing Council is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, 3 February 2026. The meeting will cover a range of topics including the review of school determinations for collective worship, updates on the SACRE's membership and workplan, and national and local developments in religious education.

Collective Worship and Determinations

A significant item on the agenda is the consideration of applications for school determinations regarding collective worship. This includes a specific application from Havelock Primary School for a determination renewal. The council will also review an updated list of school determinations across Ealing, as detailed in the Collective Worship and Determinations report1.

SACRE Membership and Workplan

The council will receive an update on its membership for the 2025-2026 academic year, outlining current members and any existing vacancies, as presented in the SACRE Membership 2025-26 report2. Alongside this, the 2025-26 SACRE Workplan report3 will be presented, detailing the planned activities and responsibilities for the upcoming year.

Local and National Updates

Updates on both local and national developments concerning religious education will be provided. The Local and National Updates report4 will cover relevant news and initiatives, including information from organisations such as NASACRE (National Association of SACREs) and updates on curriculum reviews.

Ealing Agreed Syllabus Conference Update

An update on the Ealing Agreed Syllabus Conference will be presented, focusing on the progress made in reviewing and implementing the syllabus for Religious Education. The Ealing Agreed Syllabus Update report5 will likely detail discussions on the six areas of enquiry that form the basis of the syllabus and any proposed changes or enhancements.

SACRE Annual Report 2024-2025

The council will consider the SACRE Annual Report for 2024-20256. This report serves to inform the Secretary of State for Education and other key partners about the council's activities and advice provided to the Local Authority regarding religious education and collective worship throughout the year.
