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.
The British values include:
- Respect for law
- Democracy
- Individual liberty
- Mutual Respect and Tolerance
Children at St Mary’s are encouraged to have a voice. Opportunities to vote for school and class representatives are available to the children and the opinions of all are valued and welcomed. The children are encouraged to understand the civic duty and responsibility associated with casting a vote.
These are all embedded through the teachings of the Gospels which are woven through all aspects of the curriculum and school life. Respect for law and order begins as the children enter the school and respect themselves, each other, the property of the school, their place in it and that of the wider community.
School Council
School Council have been discussing how we can promote the British Values at St Mary’s. We explored the British Values: Democracy; Rule of Law, Individual Liberty; Mutual Respect and Tolerance. We led an assembly to the whole school to remind everyone about the British Values and help them understand how we promote these at St Mary’s.
