Preparing Children for Life in Modern Britain: British Values at S.U.N
Here at our brilliant, happy, vibrant school, we are proud of how we promote British Values in our school community.
Democratic School
- We vote for and elect our School Council, Green Team and House Captains.
- We listen to our learners’ opinions, encouraging them to consider the opinions of their peers, and promoting the use of joint decision making within tasks they perform.
- We asked all the children in school what they wanted S.U.N Primary School to be like – their vision of the school. These ideas played a huge part in creating our whole school vision in 2022.
- We decided together our Learning Behaviours of creativity, curiosity, resilience and integrity.
- We can speak to or write a letter to our HT at any time and she replies back after speaking with her staff. Our last success was gaining a new notice board for all our House Captains to share news about competitions, points and ideas.
Rules of Law
- Each class has their own class rules to learn. These are decided by the class for the class.
- We all adhere to school policies
Individual Liberty
- In school and class we are encouraged to ask for anything because we don’t fear people saying no.
- We have class discussions frequently and we encourage our learners the freedom to respectfully share their thoughts and opinions.
Mutual Respect
- We respect others no matter how we look, or what gender we are; what needs we may have or what race or religion we are.
- We respect the different preferences of our peers.
Tolerance
- We respect and acknowledge that people in our community and children in school celebrate different religious festivals. We regularly learn about these during our Collective Worship.
- We encourage tolerance by teaching about different religions and traditions
