British Values and Protected Characteristics
Promoting Fundamental British Values
In accordance with The Department for Education, we aim to actively promote British values in schools to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.
The Key Values are:
Our Choices - Democracy
Following Rules - Rule of Law
Accepting Others - Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
Respect - Mutual Respect
My Choices - Individual Liberty

The Equality Act 2010 protects people in Britain from unlawful discrimination, harassment, and victimisation based on nine specific characteristics. These are covered in assemblies throughout the school year at an age and stage appropriate level.
