Minutes:
It was confirmed that Linda Lewis and Ashpreet Singh Nainu had undertaken an exercise to clear and sort religious resources at St Mary’s C of E School that had resulted in the removal of materials that had been deemed to no longer be required. There remained a need for a further exercise to photograph and catalogue the remaining (and newly bought) resources, so that the materials could be made available for use.
The question of whether it was only Slough schools that would be able to make use of the resources was raised. Members felt that the materials could be made available to other bodies within the neighbouring areas upon request, although it was confirmed that many authorities maintained their own collections.
Mr Nainu confirmed that he would look to undertake a cataloguing exercise over the coming weeks. Details of the catalogue would then be passed to the clerk, for addition to the updated SBC SACRE website (see Agenda item 14).
Andrea Sparrow confirmed that she would be contacting Open The Book with a view to understanding their availability for visiting Slough schools. Feedback would be brought to the next SACRE meeting.
