Agenda item

Robin Crofts, Director of Education, briefed SACRE on the recent GCSE results for Religious Education within Slough schools.

The results were noted, and SACRE was happy at the overall standard of results within Slough. Particular reference was made to  the attainment of students at Langley Grammar School, which was very good.

The numbers of students undertaking RE examinations was noted as varying from school to school, and confirmation was sought regarding the provision for students to receive religious education without being entered to sit exams. For example, did the school provide a short course?

It was agreed that the Director of Education write to all Slough schools and ask them to confirm what provision for Religious Education was made available to their students.
