The Government set out its definition of British Values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy and these values have been reiterated by the Prime Minister this year. The DfE has recently reinforced the need 'to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values.' These are:

•          Democracy
•         The rule of law
•          Individual liberty
•          Mutual respect
•          Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs

 At St. Columba's Catholic Primary School, these values are reinforced throughout our school and are taught explicitly throughout the Curriculum.

Our Values

• Democracy
• Rule of Law
• Individual Liberty
• Mutual Respect
• Tolerance of Other Faiths

Pupil Profile - The Jesuit Institute

The Jesuit Pupil Profile has its own logo which shows the virtues we will be focusing on. 

The tree is symbolic of the growth of the virtues. Within its branches comfortably resting is the goldfinch which has been used in art since medieval times to symbolise Christ and the Passion.

All schools in the diocese are adopting an approach similar to the Jesuit Pupil Profile. In the profile are eight sets of words which have been paired together because of their complementary and harmonising relationship to one another: from the development of one virtue springs another.
