British Values

British Values

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. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.

Our school rules ensure that all children feel safe and secure and introduced to the British Value 'Rule of law'.

Through a variety of social, moral, spiritual and cultural (SMSC) lessons and assemblies children begin to learn about British Values. The children at John T. Rice Infant and Nursery School are taught further British Values through the Jigsaw scheme of work.

The Key Values are:

democracy
rule of law
individual liberty
mutual respect
tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs

Have a look at what we have been doing this half term around DEMOCRACY.

Each class has learnt about democracy and what that means for us in Great Britain. We have enjoyed lots of fun activities which have shown us what democracy looks like in our school. Now whenever a decision needs to be made we try to exercise our democratic vote!
