British Values
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 tolerance, regardless of background.
We 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.
This ensures young people understand the importance of respect and leave school fully prepared for life in modern Britain.
Our personal development curriculum ‘Everyone Matters’ enables us to actively teach our students a range of topics which enable them to understand the British values and make appropriate choices within them.
Topics
- How do I keep myself safe?
- How do I keep myself healthy?
- How can I be the change I want to see?
- What is respect?
- How does Britain work?
- How can I prepare for life in our modern world?
The safety and wellbeing of students is of paramount importance for us at the academy and our pastoral system is designed to ensure each child has the both the support and guidance that they need throughout their learning time with us. We actively encourage students to develop the key skills of teamwork, communication and respect in all that they do.

Our Commitment
We welcome the opportunity given by the Department for Education in 2014 to promote British values more actively and to ensure they are taught in all UK schools. Our strong and successful ‘Everyone Matters’ curriculum ensures that British values live at the heart of our personal development programme, as well as more broadly throughout our work.
We accept admissions from all those entitled to an education under British law, including students of all faiths or none. We follow a rigorous diversity and equality scheme, which seeks to eradicate discrimination against any individual or group, regardless of faith, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality, disability, political or financial status, or similar. We aim to serve all of our community.
