Agenda item

Members discussed the key findings of the report entitled, ‘Religious Education, realising the potential.’  It was highlighted that the evidence base for the report was drawn from 185 schools visited between September 2009 and July 2012 but Slough schools were not included.

It was confirmed that Ofsted had ceased doing subject based inspections and this would be the last report produced of this nature.  Members were advised that details of full course RE could be found on the internet where excellent examples of case studies and practice could be found. It was highlighted that Ofsted had not inspected Voluntary Aided Schools.

Resolved  -  That the report be noted.
