Promoting British Values
The Department for Education state there is a need “to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.”
What are British Values?
There are certain values that have been attributed to being British by the government and some
institutions, and these fall into the following broad areas:
- Democracy
- The Rule of Law
- Individual Liberty
- Tolerance and respect
- Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs.
At St. Leonard’s Catholic Primary School we are committed to these values and regularly reinforce them.
