Promoting British Values

“Schools should 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 Prevent Strategy, 2011]

 

At St. Augustine’s we celebrate and promote British values in all of our lessons. In our daily collective worships we also reinforce these values. These values enable us to distinguish right from wrong; to learn about the institutions of our country; develop our self-knowledge, self-esteem and self-confidence; and encourage respect for ourselves, others and democracy.

• We understand right from wrong
• We try to help other people
• We respect the culture and beliefs of others
• We treat everybody equally
• We know that we are all special
• We understand and respect the roles of people who help us
• We understand the consequences of our actions
• We listen to and respect other people’s opinions and values
