Global Awareness and British Values
We place a high value on the children developing a good knowledge and understanding of the world around them that takes them beyond the local area. We focus on learning about the very many different cultures, religions and ways of life in our country and around the world. We also focus on knowledge about places, where they are, what they are like and similarities and differences compared with where we live. See also Global Learning in Curriculum under Our Learning.
British Values
Linked with Global Awareness and Rights and Responsibilities, we teach the children about British Values.
These are:
- democracy
- the rule of law
- individual liberty
- mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs, and for those without faith
We explore these in assemblies and PSHE and look at how they link with our life in school, in particular our Rights and Responsibilities, Global Awareness and Philosophy for Children.
