Potions can make you extremely strong, Electric circuits can be very long. Rubber is used a lot for shoes, Insulating stops blowing a fuse. Maths is useful to calculate money, Evolution is serious, not funny. Nitrogen is a gas in the air, Technology is here, there and everywhere. Science is fun and good for everyone. Tom, age 7 St Ebbes Primary School Volcano Volcano, volcano Orange you carry into the air. Louder and Louder you roar Catastrophe!

One insignificant acorn, no different to the rest, falls into a dark, gloomy, cold hole. As cold winter comes in and a horrid blizzard, far below the snow there is a cracking and a pushing, a splurging and releasing, an opening and a bursting; Acorn’s hatching out a seed.

    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE OXFORDSHIRE STANDING ADVISORY COUNCIL ON RELIGIOUS EDUCATION (SACRE) September 2016 – July 2017 CONTENTS ➢ Foreword ➢ 1. Standards and quality of provision of RE ➢ 2. Managing the SACRE and Partnership with the LA and Other Key Stakeholders ➢ 3. Effectiveness of the Agreed Syllabus ➢ 4. Collective Worship ➢ Annex 1: Membership of SACRE ➢ Annex 2: Attendance record for SACRE Members 2016-17 ➢ Annex 3: Reflections ➢ Annex 4: The value of SACRE: a view from two members ➢ Examination results by individual schools FOREWORD FROM THE CHAIR I was honoured to be elected Chair of SACRE in November and first and foremost want to thank Nick Wood for all his years in the role; I hope I will serve the Council as effectively and enthusiastically, if perhaps not quite for so long! These are challenging times for RE and SACREs and my main priority as Chair is to ensure that we, as a representative body, are as active and effective as we can be in supporting and challenging schools to provide good quality RE to all pupils. We will do this by making our presence more felt both physically and on the web. Whilst communication between SACRE and schools is more challenging, we recognise the importance of working with schools to share their good practice and to spread the provision of quality religious education and meaningful collective worship. RE remains a statutory subject for all schools and its importance has never been more acute than today. Pupils need the opportunity to make sense of their own and others’ views of life and to have an accurate knowledge and understanding of different beliefs and ways of life.
