British Values
British Values
It is ours, and every school’s responsibility “to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.”
At Rowner Infant School we promote these values during PSHE sessions and at all times in the following ways:
Rule of law
- A shared classroom charter linked to the 3 Bees
- School policies which set clear boundaries are explained clearly to students
- Learning Behaviours - Rowner Bugs
Democracy
- Students being encouraged to consider alternative pathways in lessons (Philosophy For Children - P4C)
- Student Voice on key school decisions. For example, school council (Bee Team) and pupil representation at meetings
Individual liberty
- The provision of extra-curricular activities and clubs.
- Students encouraged to voice views in lessons.
- Lunchtime helpers – Bee Buddies
Mutual respect
- Classroom charter
- School ethos statement
- Learning Behaviours – Rowner Bugs
- The publishing and enforcement of a smart dress code for students and staff
- School behaviour policy and equal opportunities policy.
- PSHE Curriculum.
Tolerance of Those with Different Faiths, Religions and Beliefs
- Appreciation of religious festivals and services
- Acceptance of different faiths
- Religious Studies taught to all students
- Faith assemblies
- Opportunities for diversity and cultural days
