British values

Democracy:

• Pupils have the opportunity to have their voices heard through our Junior Leadership Team where members are elected annually. 
• Pupils fill in termly questionnaires where they can voice their opinions and views.
• We have Year 6 monitors who are responsible for different aspects of school life such as Collective Worship monitors, Playground Leaders and House Captains.

The Rule of Law:

• The importance of laws and rules both in and out of school are  reinforced daily.
• We have an agreed set of Blue line Expectations and these are linked in with Our behaviour system.  
• Children are asked to reflect on the importance of these expectations especially when they are not followed.
• We teach the value and reasons behind both laws and rules - that they protect us, the responsibilities that this involves and the consequences that can occur.
• Frequent visits from the Community Police, Fire Service and Mayor of Haringey help to reinforce this message.
  
  

Individual Liberty :

• We actively encourage pupils to make choices, which they do knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment.
• Pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and are advised how to exercise these safely, for example through our Online Safety teaching and PSHE lessons.
• Pupils are given the freedom to make choices, e.g. signing up for extra-curricular clubs.
• Pupils help in planning and delivering child led Collective Worship.
• Each half term, children evaluate Collective worship in light of the Christian Value being taught. This informs staff of their level of understanding and how to plan and deliver Collective Worship in the future.
  
  

Mutual Respect:

• Our school ethos and behaviour policy are based around core Christian values such as ‘respect’ and ‘responsibility’ and these values determine how we learn as a community.
• Collective Worship is based on a different ‘Christian Value’ each half-term, which are planned collaboratively with the local minister and are central to how we expect everyone to go about their life at our school.
• Children and adults alike, including visitors, are challenged if they are disrespectful in any way.
• Values are highly visible around the school.
  
  

Tolerance of Those of Different Faiths and Beliefs:

• We enhance pupils’ understanding of their place in a culturally diverse society through our Curriculum.
• In London, we are lucky to be surrounded by a diverse  population which we respect and celebrate.
• We hold an annual International Celebration where different classes celebrate the culture of a different country from across the world. Parents and Families bring in traditional food and dress up in National dress.
• We celebrate all major festivals in the Christian Calendar as well as festivals and events from around the World.
• Children learn about the different major faiths, beliefs and festivals in RE and also visit different places of worship.
• We celebrate Black History Month and Friendship Week
• Collective Worship promotes tolerance of all people regardless of their background and belief.   
• We research different famous Britons each week for homework.
