Promoting Fundamental British Values

Picture
We aim to actively promote British values 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


We actively promote British values through:
Focusing on and showing how the school’s work is effective in securing these values
Challenging pupils, staff or parents who express opinions contrary to British values

Democracy – what do we do?
Provide pupils with a broad general knowledge of, and promote respect for, public institutions and services
Teach pupils how they can influence decision-making through the democratic process
Encourage pupils to become involved in decision-making processes and ensure they are listened to in school
Hold elections for school council representatives and house captains so pupils learn about the democratic process
Help pupils to express their views
Model how perceived injustice can be peacefully challenged
Democracy is shown through history topics such as the Vikings and Saxons
Circle Time and discussion groups, PSHE lessons

Rule of law – what do we do?
Having a clear set of school values which are promoted throughout the school community
Ensure school rules and expectations are clear and fair
Class rules and celebration of adhering to these rules
Help pupils to distinguish right from wrong
Help pupils to respect the law and the basis on which it is made
Help pupils to understand that living under the rule of law protects individuals
Include visits from the police

Individual liberty – what do we do?
Support pupils to develop their self-knowledge, self-esteem and self-confidence
Encourage pupils to take responsibility for their behaviour, as well as knowing their rights
Model freedom of speech through pupil participation
Challenge stereotypes Implement a strong anti-bullying culture – through policy and PSHE
E-Safety through school

Respect and tolerance – what do we do?
Promote respect for individual differences
Help pupils to acquire an understanding of, and respect for, their own and other cultures and ways of life
Challenge prejudicial or discriminatory behaviour
Organise visits to places of worship
Develop links with faith and other communities through RE and working alongside children and their families
