Religious education

Tower Hamlets has a thriving Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education – or SACRE.

Among other roles, SACRE agrees and monitors the religious education syllabus. This has a strong multi-faith core and includes information and guidance for schools.

SACRE includes representatives from a wide range of faith groups in Tower Hamlets and meets quarterly. It completes an annual report on its work and also holds an annual lecture on religious education for schools and faith group representatives.

The Local Education Authority ensures the work of the council is fedback to schools by Paramjeet Sehmi, a school development adviser who supports SACRE as part of her responsibilities.

If you would like to find out more about SACRE and its work, please contact Parmjeet on 0207 364 4598 or parmjeet.sehmi@towerhamlets.gov.uk
