British Values
Staff at Breamore CE Primary School take opportunities to actively promote British Values throughout the life of the school. These values are defined by the government as the following:
- Democracy
- The rule of law
- Individual liberty
- Mutual respect
- Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
Actively promoting also means challenging pupils, staff or parents expressing opinions contrary to fundamental British Values, including ‘extremist’ views. At Breamore, values of tolerance and respect permeate all areas of school life. This engenders a climate within which pupils feel safe and secure and facilitates the fulfilment of potential. Pupil voice plays an integral part in driving the school forward and school rules at different levels are seen as the foundation upon which this can be achieved.
The following are a selection of activities and external accreditations that are evidence of our commitment to British values:
- We have regular House meetings where children voice their views
- The children elect House Captains and class names yearly
- The charities we support are decided upon by the children
- A broad and balanced curriculum that teaches elements of democracy, civic responsibility, rules and laws, the monarchy, equality, values and virtues, environmental awareness and understanding of other faiths
- Visits to different places of worship
- Visitors from other faiths
- Excellent judgement in SIAMS inspection March 2019
- Positive behaviour policy which encourages tolerance and mutual respect
- SMSC Policy
