british values within our class assemblies
We keep up to date with current affairs through Picture News and Newsround. This helps us to understand the values of our Country.
democracy
Our children are listened to and we teach them the importance of listening to and respecting the views of others. Pupils know that their voice is important; there are many occasions when they are asked to express their opinions e.g. holding mock elections to elect school councillors, sharing views and opinions. Pupils develop a good understanding of the democratic process and how they can influence decision making. Within lessons teachers encourage children to defend a point of view and work collaboratively as part of a team.
Individual Liberty
Our children are strongly encouraged to make choices and understand their rights and responsibilities. We provide boundaries to ensure that these choices can empower our pupils. In class, teachers allow opportunities for children to have the freedom to decide how they would like to achieve a goal; this allows them multiple opportunities to build resilience, to become inquisitive and to feel challenged.
tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
Tolerance is taught and runs through our school ethos. As our school is predominantly white-British, our RE curriculum is key to ensuring our children learn to embrace difference. Children also have opportunities to appreciate this during PSHE lessons. During assemblies, children learn about key religious morals from all over the world through a range of multicultural stories and questions.
rule of law
School rules are central to creating the warm and happy environment here at Kingsfold. Children are taught the difference between right and wrong. They learn that this is crucially important to ensuring their own well-being and safety both in school and in their wider communities. The Kingsfold Way which is displayed around school clearly states the expectations of all. We invite parents to celebrate our star pupils with us during a Gathering Assembly every Friday morning.
Mutual respect
Respect is a embedded throughout the ethos of our school. Children are respected by all adults and they are expected to show respect to everybody they meet. The Kingsfold Way and behaviour policy set out key expectations for both adults and children.
