Student RE Matters

Student RE Matters has been running in Newham for over eight years now, previously called Student SACRE  It is known nationally for the innovative work it has produced on identity and faith sensitivities. Student RE Matters gives students the opportunity of developing leadership skills during the two years that they attend.

Student RE Matters provides schools with the opportunity to:

Promote dialogue between young people of differing faiths and secular backgrounds and cultures, supporting collaborative work; and

Contribute to community benefit, as it seeks to develop young people’s skills in understanding their concerns and provides a place for them to learn to become an initiator and developer of solutions.

Student RE Matters exists to give Newham students a place where they can discuss spiritual and moral issues that are important to them. Every school has the opportunity to elect or send six– eight student representatives: 3-4 from Year 9, and 3-4 from Year 10, and a member of staff to attend the half termly meetings. The hope is that these students will be representatives of the different religious and secular world views in each school.
