British Values
British Values
The New National curriculum 2014 states that all children should be taught British Values. At North Walkden we endeavour to promote and teach British Values across the curriculum, for example through history, RE and PSHE at an age appropriate level. Our whole school assemblies are often themed around British Values too.
Further information about British Values at North Walkden can be found in our policy available under the policies section on the website.
What are British Values?
According to the DfE, British Values are;
-
Being able to influence the decision making process through the democratic process.
-
Knowing that living under the rule of law protects the individual.
-
Knowing that some public bodies (like the Courts) are independent of the control of politicians.
-
Having the freedom and protection to choose and hold the belief / faith you want.
-
Accepting that other people have their own faiths / beliefs / opinions, and that this is tolerated and not be the cause of discriminatory behaviour.
-
Being able to identify and combat discrimination.
