British Values

The promotion of British Values is taught implicitly throughout the curriculum and school life.

The focus of these values in the Primary Curriculum are:

• British Values of Democracy.
• The Rule of Law.
• Individual Liberty
• Mutual respect
• Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.

As a school we promote these values through a variety of activities.

Classroom monitors and jobs, pupil questionnaires. Pupils also take part in simple debates in a variety of subjects.

The Rule of Law

Ensuring that school rules, including safety rules, are understood and consistently applied. Opportunities for pupils to distinguish between right and wrong. Visits from the emergency services. eSafety rules and their importance. Bikeability and road safety.

Individual Liberty

Pupils learn how and why rules are made in school, and how laws are made in Britain. They learn about the monarchy in History lessons.

Mutual Respect

Pupils celebrate Black History Month. Anti-bullying week is studied in school with the pupils completing a selection of age appropriate lessons. Debates and balanced arguments are completed in class, across a range of subjects.
