Collingwood Primary School

Every person is respected for their individuality in Collingwood, where there is an ethos of compassion.
The DfE has emphasised the necessity of "creating and enforcing a clear and rigorous requirement on all schools to teach the basic British principles of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of individuals with various faiths and views."
In Collingwood, we teach the national curriculum while embracing these values in a way that is age-appropriate and kid-friendly, and we model this in the way that kids and adults interact in accordance with our "REACH Values." (At Collingwood, the value of laws—whether they control a class, a school, or a nation—is regularly emphasised in class discussions and assemblies as well as during regular school hours.
Students are frequently informed of the school's standards and rules, and they are well-aware of our behaviour policy, including the coloured cause and punishment chart.
Students are taught the importance of laws that control and protect us, the reasoning behind them, the duties this entails, and the repercussions when laws are broken.
Visits from law enforcement and the fire service further this message.
With the knowledge that they are in a secure and encouraging atmosphere, Collingwood students are actively encouraged to make decisions and take on responsibilities.
We educate young students and set limits for them to make decisions securely as a school by offering a secure setting and powerful instruction.
Students are encouraged to be aware of, appreciate, and exercise their rights and liberties, and they are given guidance on how to do so safely, for instance through courses on e-safety and PSHE.
Since Collingwood is located in a region with little cultural diversity, we prioritise promoting diversity among the young people there.
Students are given the chance to comprehend their role in a multicultural society and are actively encouraged to express their religious convictions at school.
All throughout the year, lessons, assemblies, and other gatherings convey information about holidays and customs.
A comprehensive and well-balanced education on a variety of faiths, religions, and cultures is provided via the Religious Studies programme.
At Collingwood, we actively rebuke students, teachers, and parents who voice viewpoints that are at odds with core British Values, particularly "extreme" ones.
Through our ethos and teaching we help students to develop their self-knowledge, self-esteem and self-confidence; distinguish right from wrong and to respect English law; encourage students to accept responsibility for their behaviour, show initiative and contribute positively to society; enable students to acquire a broad general knowledge of, and respect for, English public institutions and services and to appreciate and respect their own and other cultures.
