Trafford Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education, or SACRE, supports the council on matters related to collective worship and religious education in community schools.
Trafford SACRE is a statutory body, made up of people from a wide range of faith groups who volunteer to be members. It is not part of the local authority. View the structure of Trafford’s SACRE.
SACRE can ask us to review our locally agreed Religious Education syllabus. They will also consider requests from schools that want to stop providing an act of worship (broadly Christian in nature) to some or all children.
Agreed syllabus for Religious Education
The Manchester Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education is used by all community schools and is recommended for Church schools, academies, and free schools.
