British Values & How We Promote Them

Fundamental British Values underpin what it is to be a citizen in a modern and diverse Great Britain, valuing our community and celebrating the diversity of the UK.

Democracy

Our pupil selected School Council  teaches about the importance of democracy.

Our pupils can volunteer their time in activities/ roles such as Eco-warriors, digital leaders and participate in fundraising events for local and national charities.

Democracy is promoted through daily decision-making such as which book to read for story time.

Pupils are taught about the freedom of speeck through collective worship.

The Rule of Law

Our behaviour policy demands high expectations of pupil conduct and this is shared with and agreed by all pupils. Pupils are rewarded for exhibiting good and caring behaviour and consistent demonstration of our core values and this is recognised through our Headteacher Awards in collective worship.

Through PSHCE lessons and collective worship, our pupils are taught how to earn trust and respect and are supported to develop a strong sense of morality; knowing right from wrong and doing the right thing, even when it is difficult. 

Individual Liberty

Through our school values and PSHCE lessons, children are taught about personal responsibility, choices, ambition and aspiration. They are encouraged to take opportunities to follow their interests in art, sports etc.

Children are taught how to keep themselves safe, including online. This is done through computing lessons, e-safety day and outside organisations such as the NSPCC, as well as through our PSHCE curriculum.

Mutual Respect

Our behaviour policy demands high expectations of pupil conduct and this is shared with and agreed by all pupils.

Through our school’s values and PSHCE, children are taught to respect each other, to be cooperative and collaborative, be supportive and to look for similarities while being understanding of differences.

Mutual respect is an expectation of all and is promoted through daily life, PSHCE lessons and collective worship.

Pupils learn about a range of faiths and beliefs and how difference enriches life experiences. 

Tolerance of Different Faiths & Beliefs

Our behaviour policy demands high expectations of pupil conduct and this is shared with and agreed by all pupils.

Tolerance of different faiths and beliefs is promoted through the curriculum for Religious Education.  Pupils learn about different religions, their beliefs, places of worship and festivals, and learn about those who have no faith or beliefs.

Special book worships are held celebrating significant religious festivals such as Ramadan and Diwali where guest speakers, staff and pupils are invited to share their beliefs and traditions.

Pupils have the opportunity to visit places of worship.
