As a school we promote

· Tolerance

Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs

Our R.E curriculum provides a broad and balanced education on a range of faiths, religions and cultures. We have contact with people from around the world. These friends are invited to visit and talk to us or we have made links via Skype with them.

Rule of Law

School has links with the local police through the school liaison officer. We have a clearly structured behaviour policy which all stakeholders understand and follow. We regularly review behaviour incidents in school and share these with key stakeholders.

Individual Liberty

Pupils have key roles and responsibilities in school, Pupil Parliament is elected each year by the children and each representative wears a badge to signify their role. Within school, pupils are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. Through our extra-curricular clubs and opportunities, pupils are given the freedom to make choices.

Mutual Respect

Our PSHE curriculum embodies values of Mutual Respect through units of learning such as Relationships and Being a Responsible Citizen. Our Teachers, Teaching Assistants and Sports’ Coaches actively promote an attitude of equality and fairness in PE. Respect is one of our main school aims.

Democracy

Our children choose and lead on their own curriculum and learning, agreed on through a democratic process. Children are involved in Democratic processes e.g. voting for Pupil Parliament and shared rewards. The school council itself is led by a member of staff and adheres to democratic processes, reporting its actions to the Governing Body each year.
