British values
British Values is a government initiative to teach students the values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance.
Democracy
A culture built upon freedom and equality, where everyone is aware of their rights and responsibilities.
The rule of law
The need for rules to make a happy, safe and secure environment to live and work.
Individual liberty
Protection of your rights and the rights of others around you.
Mutual respect & tolerance of different faiths and beliefs
Understanding that we all don’t share the same beliefs and values. Respecting those values, ideas and beliefs of others whilst not imposing our own onto them.
Each half term we focus on a different British Value.
