British Values
Chase Lane Primary School and Nursery
Promoting fundamental British values as part of SMSC at Chase Lane Primary School and Nursery
‘British society is founded on fundamental values and principles, which all those living in the UK should respect and support. These values are reflected in the responsibilities, rights and privileges of being a British citizen or permanent resident in the UK. They are based on history and traditions and are protected by law, customs and expectations. There is no place in British society for extremism or intolerance’.
We actively promote British values through our PSHE curriculum, school council and our inclusive school ethos.
Coronation Celebrations!
We have had an amazing day celebrating the King's Coronation at Chase Lane. The children were invited to dress up in red, white or blue. There were some fantastic and colourful outfits. In assembly we sang the coronation song; The Sound of the Trumpets that Mr Sanders has been teaching the school.
Straight after our delicious 'Coronation' themed lunch, provided by Mrs Perry and her team (before the heavy rain), Mr Simmonds and Mr Barrett organised the whole school into the formation of the royal emblem for a drone photo. Long Live the King!
Through our provision of SMSC we aim to:
| |
· Enable children to develop their self-esteem and self-confidence. | · Enable children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law of Britain. |
· Encourage children to accept responsibility for their behaviour, show initiative, and to understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in the locality of the school and to society more widely. | · Enable children to acquire a broad general knowledge of and respect for public institutions and services in England. |
· Develop tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions by enabling children to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures. | · Encourage respect for democracy and support for participation in the democratic process, including respect for the basis on which the law is made and applied in England. |
By effectively promoting British values in our school, we expect our pupils to develop the following knowledge and understanding:
