British ValueS
At Mappleborough Green Primary School we are dedicated to preparing our children for life in modern Britain.
We aim to nurture our children on their journey through life so they can grow into safe, caring, democratic, responsible and tolerant adults who make a positive impact on British society and the world. We encourage our children to be creative, unique, open-minded and independent individuals, respectful of themselves and of others in our local community and the wider world.
“We want every school to promote the basic British Values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance for those of different faiths and beliefs.” Lord Nash
A key part of our plan for education is to ensure children become valuable and fully rounded members of society who treat others with respect and leave school fully prepared for life in modern Britain.
The Key Values are -
- democracy
- rule of law
- individual liberty
- mutual respect
- tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
To do this our children will develop;
- An understanding of how citizens can influence decision-making through the democratic process
- An understanding that the freedom to hold other faiths and beliefs is protected in law
- An acceptance that people having different faiths and beliefs to oneself (or having none) should be accepted and tolerated, and should not be the cause of discriminatory behaviour
- An understanding of the importance or identifying and combating discrimination
- The vision statement and aims of the school clearly reflect these values, and the whole school strives to uphold them.
