British Values

Promoting Fundamental British Values at Lawns Park

At Lawns Park Primary School, in accordance with the Department for Education, we actively promote British Values to ensure our pupils leave school prepared for life in modern Britain.

The five key British Values are:

• democracy
• rule of law
• individual liberty
• respect
• tolerance

Through collective worship, assemblies, PSHE lessons, discussions and our daily interactions with children, British Values are part of children's everyday experiences. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that, while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.

Our weekly British Values assembly allows us as a school to investigate British Values and our role as citizens in school, our own wider community and Britain as a whole. We make comparisons between British Values and our own school values of Perseverance, Positivity, Patience and Politeness to allow us to recognise the importance of how we conduct ourselves when we are both at school and out in the community.
