Aldwyn British Values Statement

Aldwyn Primary School

British Values Statement

The document sets out how we, at Aldwyn Primary School, develop and promote British Values throughout our school and within our curriculum.

“We want every school to promote the basic British Values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance for those of different faiths and beliefs”. Lord Nash

A key part of our plan for education is to ensure children become valuable and fully rounded members of society who treat others with respect and leave school fully prepared for life in modern Britain.

British Values:

The Rule of Law

Democracy

Individual Liberty

Mutual Respect

Tolerance for those of different faiths and beliefs

To do this our children will develop:

An understanding of how citizens can influence decision-making through the democratic process
An understanding that the freedom to hold other faiths and beliefs is protected in law
An acceptance that people having different faiths or beliefs to oneself (or having none) should be accepted and tolerated, and should not be the cause of prejudicial or discriminatory behaviour
An understanding of the importance of identifying and combating discrimination

The mission statement and aims of the school carefully reflect these values, and the whole school strives to uphold them.

Mission Statement

Our school community is committed to providing a safe, secure and stimulating environment. We value and promote shared and personal achievement, high standards and respect for the individual. We believe that by working together we build understanding of one another and develop the self-esteem of every individual.

This Mission Statement represents the principles that we strive towards at Aldwyn Primary School. Throughout our statement we hope to show how we translate these aims into practice.

Our School Aims

At Aldwyn Primary School we believe that:

high quality teaching will enable every child to achieve excellent progress in their learning
every child should be a successful learner who strives to achieve their potential and have their talents recognised
that all children should develop a love of learning to last a lifetime; preparing them for the next phase of their education and their future
establishing positive partnerships and a shared vision with parents and the wider community is essential
children should learn in a safe, inclusive and stimulating environment
everyone in school should value themselves and each other

The table below is an indication of where we can find evidence to show that these values are an intrinsic part of school life at Aldwyn Primary School.
