We take very seriously our responsibility to prepare children for life in modern Britain. We ensure that the fundamental British Values are introduced, discussed and lived out through our values-based philosophy that infuses the ethos and work of the school.

These values are:

Mutual Respect and the Tolerance of those with different faiths and Beliefs
Democracy
Rule of Law
Individual Liberty

All curriculum areas provide a vehicle for furthering understanding of these concepts and lessons provide excellent opportunities to deepen and develop understanding. Children embrace these concepts with enthusiasm and demonstrate a good understanding of their application to their own lives.
