The Department of Education has an expectation that schools will provide ‘British Values’ namely democracy, rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
At this school we see this as being relevant throughout school life and very much part of our Christian ethos.
Democracy
Definition - Can be seen as a state of society characterised by equality of rights and privileges. It can also refer to our nation’s electoral system.
Rule of Law
Definition – All people and institutions are subject to and accountable to law that is fairly applied and enforced.
Individual Liberty
Definition – Suggests the free exercise of rights generally seen as outside of government control e.g. “live as you like within the law”.
Mutual Respect
Definition – The proper regard for an individual’s dignity, which is reciprocated.
Tolerance of those of Different Faith and Beliefs
Definition – A fair, objective and permissive attitude to those whose faiths and beliefs may differ from one’s own.
