Democracy, the rule of law, individual freedom, respect for others' opinions, and tolerance are all considered to be pillars of British values.
Schools are required to submit reports on the ways they actively encourage students to uphold British Values.
At Fairlawn Primary School, we have a distinct set of school values that go hand in hand with and complement those that are considered to be British.
British values are discussed in primary schools both through the curriculum and in our regular encounters with students.
Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, and Curiosity, the school's core principles, permeate every element of what we do as a school community.
The school encourages its students' spiritual, moral, and cultural growth.
In the classroom and across all other activities, the school fosters respect for others.
Students are encouraged to research topics and form opinions, always keeping in mind that doing so does not imply losing respect for or understanding of other people's viewpoints.
Through the curriculum of the schools, kids are given the chance to investigate and comprehend their role in the culturally diverse society of the UK as well as the chance to engage with diversity within the school community.
The propagation of partisan political and religious ideas has no place at the school.
There are times when it is appropriate to present students with opposing political or religious viewpoints, and we will make sure that those viewpoints are presented in a fair and balanced manner.
Promotion of partisan political or religious viewpoints is not permitted in the classroom.
The presenting of several points of view is balanced for the students as they discuss these topics.
Jigsaw PSHE, which has mapped out the values across the curriculum (see below), gives children the chance to engage in a community of inquiry and shared dialogue with both adults and their peers in order for them to think deeply—critically, caringly, creatively, and collaboratively—about their own experiences and compare them to those of others in order to develop their own set of personal values.
Students will be able to talk about ethical principles, human rights, and equality issues by the time they graduate from school.
Children should be able to articulate, defend, and support their particular beliefs as well as respect those of others. We also want them to have a coherent and fair basis for their opinions.
All of our students are expected to demonstrate a commitment to the principles of justice and fairness.
We provide young people the chance to assume responsibility.
Additionally, the kids are in charge of numerous schoolyard locations.
The school will have built a clear moral code based on its ideals that commands the agreement of the school community rather than explicit rules.
These, in our opinion, are the tenets that govern British justice and the rule of law.
We know that a fully grounded understanding of these values, the ability to articulate, challenge and unfound extremism will build resilience and resistance to intolerance, hatred and prejudice upon which radicalisation thrives.
