British Values

We follow the Jigsaw PSHE scheme and we learn about the following fundamental British Values every term in all year groups. Please see our coverage document here. 

At Severn Beach Primary we actively promote the British values of:

  • democracy.
  • the rule of law.
  • individual liberty.
  • mutual respect.
  • tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs.

In all aspects of school life these British values are communicated, delivered and brought to life through our:

  • Collective worship programme.
  • Creative curriculum, including PSHE lessons and assemblies based on the Jigsaw Scheme of Work.
  • Young Leadership opportunities.
  • Behaviour Policy.

Severn Beach is committed to instilling British Values in the following ways:

Democracy

  • Holding elections for school council, class treats etc.
  • Using school council to contribute to school improvement.
  • Visits/visitors linked to local councils.
  • Understanding the role of Community Councillors.
  • Children encouraged to explain their thinking and justify decisions.
  • Opportunities to share ideas, take part in debates, developing an empathy and understanding for the views of others.
  • Democracy taught as part of topics or when linked to national events eg. General Elections. 

 The Rule of Law

  • Clear behaviour policy shared and consistently implemented
  • Pupils are taught from an early age the rules of the class and school.
  • Pupils are taught the value and reasons behind rules, the responsibilities  that this involves and the consequences when laws are broken.
  • Visits from authorities such as the Police and Fire Service help reinforce this message.

Individual Liberty

  • Clear boundaries are provided for pupils whilst also being provided with opportunities to express their personal freedom of choice.
  • Pupils are actively encouraged to make informed choices, within a safe, supportive environment. 
  • Stereotypes are challenged.

 Mutual Respect

  • Mutual respect is at the heart of our values. We wholeheartedly believe that all in the school community should model respect, treating each other in the way that we ourselves would like to be treated.
  • Inclusive education for all.
  • Delivery of a PSHE curriculum that enables everyone to consider the impact of their choices on others, exploring ways to show respect to all.

Tolerance of those of Different Faiths and Beliefs

  • Delivery of an RE curriculum that encompasses all major faiths including Christianity, promoting diversity and tolerance.
  • Visits/visitors linked to major faiths planned and encouraged to enhance learning.
