British Values and our PSHRE Scheme

Following investigations into some schools in Birmingham where there was evidence of radicalization of pupils, promoted by governors, the prime minister made a speech outlining the idea that schools should promote British values, consisting of:

'Freedom, tolerance and respect for the rule of law and UK institutions'

At Felsted Primary School, we believe that these important values are inculcated into our school processes through:-

  • The actions of the staff as examples to the children

  • The Core Values and Core Principle which were arrived at through discussion with all stakeholders; staff,  pupils, parents and governors

  • The negotiated class rules which is agreed by each class with their teacher and is on display in that classroom

  • The role of the democratically elected school council, for example in agreeing rules of the playground and dining hall and having a say in lunchtime arrangements.  

  • Whole school assemblies which refer to the above British values and the school’s Core Values

  • Use of our PSHRE programme, which is taught once per week, normally through circle time

  • Regular references through teaching

 

The school uses the Kapow PSHRE scheme

This is augmented with stories and topics around a multi-cultural theme to ensure our children are prepared for life in a multi-ethnic Britain. 

We feel this is important because the school community does not reflect this.
