The SACRE Committee Membership

A Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (SACRE) is set up to represent a balance of all the interests of the local community.

  • Humanist - 1 Representative

 2.    Committee B - The Church of England

  • 5 Representatives

 3.    Committee C - Teacher and Head Teacher Associations

  • 4 Representatives

 4.    Committee D - Staffordshire County Council elected members

The total membership of SACRE will be 34. Membership of the SACRE is for a five-year period. Meetings take place three times a year (once a term) on a Wednesday afternoon at the County Buildings, Stafford, starting at 2.00pm and generally lasting no more than two hours.
