British Values

As part of our PSHE curriculum, we provide a robust framework for promoting a positive ethos and our values across the school community, contributing significantly to British Values education, both explicitly and implicitly.

The focus across the three themes of Health and Wellbeing, Relationships and Living in the Wider World foster and develop children’s responsibility for their own actions; respect for the actions and beliefs of others; an understanding of how each individual is protected by the rule of law; and how everyone can make a positive contribution to society through the democratic process.
