Over the past 27-months we have retold this story to thousands of young and older people through over 100 programmes and events. During those 400 years, thousands of enslaved men and women sacrificed their lives to free Africans and preach freedom, and we have taught about some of them: Olaudah Equiano, Mary Prince, Frederick Douglass, Phyllis Wheatley, Ottobah Cuguano, Toussaint L’Ouverture, Harriet Tubman and countless others whose names will never be known.

  • Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education Annual Report
    Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education Annual Report 2018-2019 This annual report is prepared for Leeds Standing Advisory Council on RE (SACRE) as part of its statutory responsibility. For further information on the report or on RE and Collective Worship in Leeds, please contact Alastair Ross at [email protected] 1 2 Michael Dorsey It is with great sadness that we record the death of Michael Dorsey, a former chair of SACRE and member until this year. Michael passed away during July 2019. He always demonstrated a quiet enthusiasm and resolute commitment to promoting understanding of faith in school education. As a Jewish representative he also promoted better understanding of the Jewish faith in Leeds schools. Michael was key in helping the passage of the 2015 RE syllabus, precursor to the version we have published this year. He was instrumental in leading SACRE and supporting the development of RE in schools. Our thoughts and best wishes are with Michael’s widow, Sue, and all their family. 3 Introduction by the Chair of SACRE Leeds SACRE and our partners have been busy supporting our schools and pupils during 2018-19. • The new joint syllabus, developed with Kirklees and Calderdale SACREs was launched. • A programme of training was delivered for the new syllabus. • Additional resources for were developed and made available through the West Yorkshire RE Hub. Good quality RE can play a vital role in society. Over a decade of austerity and cuts to local authority budgets are putting our schools under increasing pressure and rising homelessness and foodbank use in our area has had a huge knock on effect on pupils from less privileged backgrounds.
