St. Mary's C.E. Primary School, Washington

British Values are defined by OFSTED as:

Acceptance and engagement with the fundamental individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs; pupils develop and demonstrate skills and attitudes that will allow them to participate fully in and contribute positively to life in modern Britain.

 
How does our school go about promoting these values?

We believe that the following list exemplifies some of the British Values held dear to British citizens:

• Democracy
• Respect of the rule of law
• Appreciation of the rights of others
• Individual liberty
• The promotion of opportunities for all
• Support for those who cannot, by themselves, sustain a dignified life-style
• Religious tolerance and respect for cultural diversity
• Treating others with fairness
• Participation in community life
• The contribution to, as well as the benefit from, cultural and economic resources.
