I shall focus on some of the creativity we have valued in Bucks SACRE this year both from our members and during our visits to schools. In addition, we receive wise counsel from our Education Officer at Bucks CC, Katherine Wells and our RE Adviser Bill Moore. At our meeting in October we learned that Suma Din our Muslim deputy had become a school governor and would no longer fulfil her role with SACRE. However, her legacy to us is her book published by the Institute of Education Press entitled ‘Muslim Mothers and their children’s schooling.’ See SACRED 7, for a review. (For this and all other references to SACRED see the website at the end of this section). In her contribution to SACRED 6 Suma wrote; From the Qur’an, I understand my role as being a ‘steward’ on this earth; one who will take care, take responsibility and hand on a legacy to those who come after them.

Each term we hold one of our meetings at a school and receive a presentation from the teacher responsible for RE about the manner in which this subject is delivered. As our Agreed Syllabus 2011-2016 had its launch this year we have been particularly interested in ascertaining how well it is received in schools. At Wye Valley School on 10.10.12 we received a fascinating presentation during which we learned that all KS4 students followed the short course in RE and others are given the opportunity to continue to a full GCSE.
