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.

Democracy |
Our school council works in conjunction with our eco-group council, to raise appropriate issues about our school and environment. Two pupils per class are elected , annually, by their peers to represent their class. At Pupil Voice meetings, representatives put forward ideas and issues identified by their peers regarding school developments and environmental issues. |

The Rule of Law |

Individual Liberty |
PSHE is used to teach Social, Emotional and Behavioural skills throughout the school. Collective worship is used to both explore and support the school’s values. By teaching the children how to manage and understand their emotions they will be motivated and equipped to:

Mutual Respect |
We all have high expectations of achievement and behaviour. Children and staff are polite and kind. We believe that everyone has their own special gifts and we are expected to use them. All members of the school family are equally valued. Our teachers make lessons enjoyable and interesting and everybody is expected to do their best and respect others. |
|
Tolerance for those of different faiths and beliefs |
Daily worship reflects and teaches the children about tolerance for different faiths and beliefs. Activities within school support both children and adults of different or no faith, the children are taught respect and tolerance of these groups and the opinions and feelings of the groups are taken into account with all activities. |
