From the St Wilfrid's Cof E Primary School
Every child who attends St. Wilfrid's School will grow in faith, aptitude, and understanding of how to develop in the future as a global citizen, according to our belief that God loves us all. Every action we take is intended to represent our Christian Vision, and school life is deeply ingrained with our basic Christian principles. In addition, drawing together relevant strands such as Fundamental British Values, Values Education, Global Learning and Personal Social and Health Education (PSHE) ensures that we are fulfilling our vision that all should live and love fully. Our larger programme of values education, in which we collaborate with schools in the Lancaster and Morecambe District Cluster, incorporates these Christian ideals. Our kids have the chance to work for the St. Wilfrid's Values Diploma, which encourages them to take part in a variety of activities, including ones that have a positive social impact. This, in our opinion, has a significant impact on students' academic performance as well as their own aspirations, growth, and comprehension of their position as citizens of the United Kingdom and the world. To learn more about this month's focus, Value.Friendship, go here. The United Kingdom's government emphasises that all schools must ensure that the fundamental "British Values" are taught. The 2011 Prevent Strategy outlined the government's notion of British values.
