British Values
The Government emphasises that schools are required to ensure that key ‘British Values’ are taught in all UK schools. The government set out its definition of British values in the ‘Prevent Strategy’ – values of:
- democracy
- the rule of law
- individual liberty
- mutual respect
- tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
The promotion of British Values
The school uses strategies within the National curriculum and beyond to promote British Values for our students.
Here are some examples of when British values are shared:
| What we do | Examples |
| We provide opportunities for students to be reflective about their own beliefs and perspectives on life, and the extent to which they are the same as and different to others’ faith, feelings and values |
|
| We encourage students to show an interest in investigating and offering reasoned views about moral and ethical issues, and appreciate the viewpoints of others. |
|
| We encourage students to have a sense of enjoyment and a fascination for learning about the world around them |
|
| We ensure that students know the difference between right and wrong and understand that actions have consequences so that they respect the rule of law |
|
| We celebrate diversity and develop the mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs |
|
| We encourage students to engage positively with a life of democracy |
