Dorset SACRE Agreed Syllabus for RE 2011 & Teaching Secular Worldviews

New Dorset RE Syllabus

On 28th June 2011, the Dorset SACRE Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education 2011 was launched to over one hundred Dorset RE teachers at Springfield Hotel in Wareham.  From September 2011, Dorset Primary schools can and KS3 schools must focus on Secular Worldviews such as Humanism or Atheism.

Teaching Secular Worldviews

To coincide with the launch of the new Dorset RE Syllabus, a new website, 'Teaching Secular Worldviews', was developed by Chris Street to provide secular worldview (such as humanism & atheism & scientific method) resources for UK RE teachers. Our presenters will give the 'Secular Worldview RE Workshops' at your school anywhere in Great Britain. The presentation will follow your locally agreed SACRE RE syllabus.
