The Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education Agreed Syllabus Conference is scheduled to meet on Monday 13 October 2025. The agenda includes introductions, apologies, declarations of interest, and the confirmation of the minutes from a previous meeting. The main item for discussion is the revision of Living Difference IV.

Revision of Living Difference IV

The council is scheduled to discuss the revision of Living Difference IV. The previous meeting on 5 October 2021 included a presentation on The Revision of Living Difference III, where changes from the last syllabus were highlighted, and it was described how Living Difference supports teachers in delivering quality Religious Education. At that meeting each group met separately to discuss the implications of adopting Living Difference as the agreed syllabus, and then voted to approve the Agreed Syllabus Living Difference IV, to begin implementation in Isle of Wight schools from October 2022.

Other items

The agenda also includes:

• Introductions: Attendees will introduce themselves.
• Apologies for Absence: Any apologies for absence will be received.
• Declarations of Interest: Members will be invited to declare any interests they may have in the matters on the agenda. Members are reminded that they must declare an interest before the matter is discussed, or when their interest becomes apparent.

• Minutes: The minutes of the meeting held on 5 October 2021 will be confirmed as a true record.
