British Values
At Sheerness West Federation, we recognise that all schools have an important part to play in the teaching and promotion of traditional British Values. Indeed, the government has made it a part of the school inspection process to evaluate how well a school is promoting these values.
We strongly believe that our School Values match very closely with the British Values, which are:
- Democracy
- Justice/Rule of Law
- Individual Liberty
- Mutual Respect
- Tolerance
From the Nursery through to Year 6, our children learn how to make decisions, to understand the difference between right and wrong, to share with their peers and respect their right to be themselves, accepting similarities and differences. There are numerous examples throughout our curriculum where we would promote and explain these values and also specific teaching opportunities and time for reflection on these values.
We use three slides at the start of our assemblies, so that we always refelct on Our School Rules, Our School and Federation Values and The British Values, (See below) and we use Jigsaw for PSHE and to ensure British Values are embedded in these lessons. (See British Values in Jigsaw by lesson).
