Promoting British Values at Newland St. John’s C of E Academy
The DfE has recently reinforced the 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.”
The Government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy, and these values were reiterated in 2014. At Newland St John’s these values are reinforced regularly and in the following ways:
How we promote British values
“Living, Learning and Growing in the Love of God.”
"Parents and carers value the strong sense of community you encourage within the school’s
very diverse cultural and social mix where everyone is treated with kindness and respect."
"Pupils’ behaviour is often exemplary."
"The school embodies its Christian vision through the way it welcomes and supports pupils of all backgrounds and abilities, thus helping them to flourish."
"My child never wants to miss school."
"My child has been made very welcome."
