Schools are required to promote fundamental British values and follows advice from the DfE. Click here to view the DfE guidance. 

There are five British values which are:

• Democracy
• Rule of law
• Individual liberty 
• Mutual respect
• Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs

The school promotes these values in a number of ways:

• Having British values on display throughout the school.
• Assemblies, workshops, themed days and weeks which focus on different values.
• Values are taught across the curriculum particularly in RE and PHSE.
• The school is a UNICEF Rights Respecting School (Silver Award) and as part of this teaches the 54 articles in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child across the curriculum.

• The school regularly raises money for different charities which often provides opportunities to teach British values.
• Regular educational visits are planned as part of the school's enrichment offer and often includes visits to places where British values can be discussed such as places of worship. 
• The Behaviour and Relationship Policy outlines the school's eight rules which helps develops children's early understanding of many of the British values including the rule of law. 
• Participation in inter-school sporting competitions.
