British Values

We actively promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. 

We aim to support and educate our children is to ensure that they become valuable and fully rounded members of society who treat others with respect and tolerance, regardless of background.

This ensures that our children understand the importance of respect and leave our school fully prepared for the next target in their learning journey and life in modern Britain.

Examples of the understanding and knowledge pupils are expected to learn include:

·       an understanding of how citizens can influence decision-making through the democratic process

·       an understanding that the freedom to hold other faiths and beliefs is protected in law

·       an acceptance that people having different faiths or beliefs to oneself (or having none)

        should be accepted and tolerated, and should not be the cause of prejudicial or discriminatory behaviour

·       an understanding of the importance of identifying and combatting discrimination
