Southwark SACRE award for excellent RE in schools.

WELL DONE TO DULWICH WOOD PRIMARY SCHOOL!

The winners of the Southwark SACRE award for excellence 2016. The chair of SACRE and the RE Consultant went along to an excellent collective worship in July on the theme of Peace.  We were welcomed by the pupils and the deputy head and teachers of RE  and gave the RE Coordinator, Lucy Lance,  the prize and certificate.  Look out for details of this year’s competition coming soon!

NEWS

Recently members of SACRE have been looking at the websites of schools in Southwark to see what it says about RE and Collective worship. Some websites are very comprehensive and the occasional one doesn’t mention RE at all. It is a requirement that the RE curriculum appears on your website so check and maybe update the information.

Can you offer a date for a visit by the RE consultant and one or two members of the committee to spend a couple of hours at your school looking at a lesson and discussing ways that we can support you?
