Do Voluntary Aided Schools have to follow the Local Authority Agreed Syllabus?
No. The Religious Education (RE) in Voluntary Aided (VA) Schools must be in accordance with the Trust Deed of the school, which normally says it must be in line with the teachings of the Church of England. This gives staff and governors the chance to draw up a programme of RE which draws on the Diocesan guidance documents, the LEA Agreed Syllabus and any other legitimate source.
