The basic British principles of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and respect for people of all religions and beliefs must be promoted in all schools, according to the DfE, which has lately reaffirmed the need for doing so.
Serving its neighbourhood and community is a priority at Portway Infant School.
It acknowledges the multiethnic, multireligious, and dynamic nature of the United Kingdom and the people it serves.
As a Community School, the institution admits students of all faiths and no faiths who are entitled to an education under British law.
Rewards are another part of our school's behaviour policy, and students get to decide which ones they want to use.
The value of laws is continually emphasised over the course of the regular school day, as well as while dealing with behaviour and during school assemblies, whether the laws be those that govern the class, the school, or the nation.
Students are instructed on the importance of laws, their justifications, how they regulate and safeguard us, the duties associated with this, and the repercussions of breaking the law.
With the knowledge that they are in a secure and encouraging atmosphere at school, students are actively encouraged to make decisions.
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 PSHE lectures.
Core values like respect have been a part of our school's ethos and behaviour policy, and students have participated in conversations and assemblies about what this means and how it is demonstrated.
The guidelines for the school and the classroom, as well as our behaviour policy, emphasise these concepts.
This is accomplished through giving students opportunities to experience cultural variety and by helping them better comprehend their place in a diverse society.
To improve instruction in classes and throughout the school, people of all faiths are urged to share their knowledge.
The school works to ensure that these requirements are met and employs methods outside the scope of the National Curriculum in order to achieve these goals for the students.
Examples of when and places where such British Values are shared are shown in the list below.
When opportunities to teach students about historical events that affected the future emerge, the school takes full use of them.
Special assemblies are held within school to mark Remembrance Day annually, as well as the Centenary, are given by both school staff and visiting church leaders and all pupils are aware of the importance of this commemoration.
In KS1, students study a variety of historical topics pertaining to Britain's evolution over time.
Students have the chance to participate in Olympic sports like kurling thanks to the development of our physical education curriculum.
The elements of respect and resiliency are promoted across the school through themed displays.
As a community school, collective worship is non-denominational and recognizes that those attending may have a wide range of faiths, or none.
Religious education: Increasing one's knowledge of the various religions that are represented in the UK as well as their practises.
All students have several opportunities to take part in competitions and events that advance these ideals throughout their time in school.
On sports days and at regional athletic competitions, all students take part in a variety of physical and athletic activities.
These happen on the campus of the institution or at other places connected to it.
