Agenda item

Members are asked to consider the following determination applications:

·       Fryent Primary School

·       Kingsbury Green Primary School

·       Leopold Primary School

·       Park Lane School

·       Roe Green Junior School

·       Wykeham Primary School

The Chair advised that there were six determinations to be considered at the meeting as follows:

(a)    Fryent Primary School

(b)    Kingsbury Green Primary School

(c)    Leopold Primary School

(d)    Park Lane School

(e)    Roe Green Junior School

(f)     Wykeham Primary School

In considering the determination applications members of SACRE noted that all of the schools had previously applied for a determination.  As part of the application, minutes from the Governing Body were awaited from Fryent Primary School in support of their application and Leopold Primary School.

Having considered the application submitted, it was AGREED that the determinations be granted pending:

a.          submission of the outstanding supporting information from the schools identified; and

b.          in light of the meeting not being quorate, representatives of the Membership Group C (Teaching Association) confirming their approval following the meeting

It was AGREED that schools will be informed of the decision by the beginning of the school term dependent upon receipt of the outstanding minutes.

Members queried if the schools listed above were grant maintained schools.  It was clarified that the schools were all grant maintained and that academies did not require determinations.

Clarification was sought on whether this would change following the Children’s Wellbeing Bill.  Nadia Nadeem, SACRE Advisor explained that it was unclear currently whether RE subject would be part of the National Curriculum.  Changes were unlikely to affect the role of SACRE, however this was bespoke to each Local Authority.  

Clarification was sought on the basis of the determinations being applied for with details sought on the number of schools in the borough that did not apply for a determination.  ACTION: Nadia Nadeem agreed to gain this data and report back at the next SACRE meeting.
