Minutes:
1. Mrs Snodin had e mailed Steve Kelly, the designated NUT Representative for Rutland, on two occasions but had not received any response. Miss Waller asked for the views of the members as to whether we should continue to keep trying to get a NUT representative to the meetings. The proposal was to leave this discussion until the AGM in October 2017 in light of information received that the NUT was to merge with another teaching Union.
Agenda Item for October Meeting – GW & CS
2. Lord Nash has not yet been replaced under the new administration. When he was last written to by the Chair the concern was that with Rutland Schools becoming Academies the role of SACRE was up in the air. The Chair was reassured that there was no plan to change the current arrangements. If it is felt that something may change in the future we would to write again.
3. Action completed.
4. Action completed. Dr Sharif chaired the first meeting of the Network Meeting on 28th November 2016. This will be discussed further under Agenda Item 6.
5. Dr Sharif Chaired the above mentioned Collective Worship Network Meeting with input from Mrs Davis and Ms Walker, although Ms Walker had not been able to attend the inaugural meeting. The future of the meetings will be discussed further under Agenda Item 6.
6. Miss Waller and Mrs Stephenson met with the lead Member for Education, Councillor David Wilby, in the Leader’s absence about the need for support for SACRE. Mr Wilby asked them to leave it in his hands. The current Leader, Mr Terry King, had resigned and a new Leader will be elected on Thursday, 26th January 2017. Mrs Stephenson suggested that she and Miss Waller meet with the new Leader following the election to see what support SACRE might get. Miss Waller had been in e mail correspondence with Ms Gill Curtis, incoming Head of Learning and Skills regarding who will offer SACRE Educational Support within the Local Authority when Dr Sharif leaves this role on 25th January 2017. Miss Waller had impressed upon Ms Curtis that she hoped that the same person who is being employed by Northamptonshire and Cambridge as their local authority lead could also be used by Rutland County Council. It should be the same person given that Rutland is using the same syllabus. Mrs Crellin reported on the feedback she had given the Diocese on the Peterborough Cathedral Reflection Day. Six children from Ryhall Church of England Primary School had attended and the head, Ms Kay Walker said that although it was a really good day out it was a bit of a rush because of the travelling. Mrs Crellin felt that the Cathedral was not the most accessible venue for some schools and the idea of a travelling “road show” would be considered at a later date when the new staff on the Diocese Board had settled into their roles.
7. Action completed
8. Miss Waller wrote to the Deanery Synod but has not received a response. She is going to a meeting with the Synod on Thursday, 2nd February 2017 and will raise the subject again
