British Values
Promoting British Values at Warboys Primary Academy
The Department for Education have recently reinforced the need -
"to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs."
We use this as our basis for all that we do in our schools and we ensure British Values are entwined in this.
We have summarised these values as:
- Democracy
- Rule of Law
- Individual Learning
- Tolerance and Respect
At Warboys Primary Academy these values are reinforced regularly and in the following ways:
|
Democracy |
Rule of Law |
