Introduction
The Agreed Syllabus Conference (ASC) is a statutory body brought together to produce an agreed syllabus for Religious Education (RE).
This body must:
- Produce and unanimously recommend to the Local Authority an agreed syllabus for RE
- Specify what will be taught through the agreed syllabus
- Make publicly available, all papers and minutes of each meeting for the duration of the ASC and until the next ASC is convened for reviewing the syllabus
Membership of the ASC is based on the same structure and process as SACRE and includes members from different sectors of education as well as faith and non-faith representatives.
Next Meeting
The next meeting will take place on 28 February 2024 at 1.30pm. This meeting will be held at Broughton House, Taunton.
The agenda will be published by 21 February 2024.
