Changes in how Religious Studies is being taught and taken up were examined in a Windsor and Maidenhead council meeting on Monday. However, it is still ‘slightly’ above the national average at 19 per cent, according to the RBWM Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (SACRE). Percentage results for grades 9-4 (A* to C under the old grading system) sit ‘slightly above’ the national level, as well. Two schools with Sixth Forms in the Borough had no A Level RS candidates this year, where previously there had been small numbers. Some schools ‘may not be meeting statutory requirements’ but this is ‘outside of the remit’ of the council to solve, the report said.
