Stow-On-The-Wold Nursery School

The DfE have reinforced the need to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
Our school is characterised by widespread democracy.
Pupils have the opportunity to have their voices heard through our School Council who meet weekly when possible.
Every child on the School Council is voted in by their class and have the opportunity to put forward their views and opinions at the meetings.
We have strong links with Stow Town Council and the clerk is a regular visitor to school to hear the pupil voice.
The importance of laws, whether they be those that govern the class, the school, or the country, are consistently reinforced at Stow-on-the-Wold Primary School.
Pupils are taught the value and reasons behind laws, that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves and the consequences when laws are broken.
At our school, pupils are actively encouraged to make the right choices, following our school values.
As a school we educate and provide boundaries for young pupils to make wise choices, through a provision of a safe environment and empowering education.
Pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and are advised how to exercise these safely, for example through our E-Safety and PSHE lessons.
One of our three main School Values is to Be Supportive.
Displays around the school promote our school values and this is reiterated through our classroom rules, as well as our behaviour policy.
Visits to the Hub help children to enhance their self esteem, work together as a team and build self confidence.
We actively promote diversity through our teaching and celebration of different faiths and cultures.
