British Values

Through our three core school values, we promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and no faith. These values are woven throughout our curriculum and day-to-day interactions, but are more explicitly  explored through the PSHE and RE programmes of study, along with activities including: Collective Worship, the weekly Whole School Meeting, Multicultural Weeks, fundraising events for charities inside and outside of the UK  and the variety of educational visits to places of worship of major world faiths.
