York SACRE – DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022-2024
The York SACRE development plan is shaped around the five key functions of SACREs contained in the NASACRE Self-Evaluation Toolkit. These are:
1. To improve the management of SACRE and build the partnership between SACRE and other Key Stakeholders
2. Promoting improvement in the standards, quality of teaching and provision in RE
3. Evaluating the effectiveness of the Locally Agreed Syllabus
4. Promoting improvement in the provision and quality of collective worship
5. Contributing to cohesion across the community and the promotion of social and racial harmony
York SACRE has begun a programme of self-evaluation activity using the NASACRE self-evaluation tool that underpins identified priorities.
