Promoting Fundamental British Values

In accordance with The Department for Education we aim to actively promote British values in schools to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.

The Key Values are:

  • Democracy
  • Rule of law
  • Individual liberty
  • Mutual respect
  • Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs

These are some of the ways in which we promote British Values within our school:

  • Theme days linked to current events – WW1, Royal Weddings, VE day
  • PSHE – parliament, democracy units
  • Geography – UK geography/places/ global issues
  • Values – assemblies, posters, Christian values
  • Displays – remembrance
  • Poppy Appeal – in school each year
  • Values Ambassadors – democracy
  • Eco Club – Whole world, global issues
  • Digital Leaders, keeping safe and abiding by rules
  • Themed school dinners
  • Collective Worship Team – democracy, tolerance of other faiths and beliefs
  • Links to St Peter’s Church and special days – harvest, mother’s day, Christmas
  • Charity events/ and raising – Bethany choir, Race For Life, Children In Need and local charities
