We are pleased to be able to let you know that Bath & North East Somerset SACRE has reviewed the current Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education and has adopted a refreshed version of Awareness, Mystery, Value (AMV). The updated Syllabus will be officially ‘launched’ at a series of FREE online training events in March 2022, but most of the newly edited schemes of learning exemplars can already be found at www.awarenessmysteryvalue.org

There is a choice of training opportunities for RE lead teachers to attend: 

·       Wed 9th March 1.30-3.00 

·       Tues 15th March 4.00-5.30

·       Thurs 17th March 4.00-5.30

·       Mon 21st March 10.00-11.30. 

Bookings are now open! Here is the Eventbrite link for the training sessions: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/awareness-mystery-value-re-syllabus-update-registration-203660322507

In the meantime, please do take a look at our new ‘RE-Live’ mini-units, making use of stories from the contemporary world, recently uploaded to the AMV website. We have: one for Early Years, one for KS1, two for KS2, one full term’s unit and one mini-unit for KS3, and one for KS4. Find them here or go to the home page and search ‘RE-Live'. Feel free to use these instead of existing units or to supplement the work you are currently doing. 

Altogether, they will encourage pupils to look at how different communities, religious and non-religious, have been involved in helping people over the trials of the last year, from the pandemic to Black Lives Matter and how religions such as Islam have featured in the media.
