British Values
Promoting British Values at Great Paxton Church of England Primary School
The Department for Education’s policy is that schools are expected “to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools 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.”
We use this as our basis for all that we do in our school and we ensure British Values are entwined in this.
We have summarised these values as:
Democracy
Rule of Law
Individual Liberty
Tolerance and Respect
