At South Marston, we actively teach and implement British Values.
The DfE have reinforced the need to “create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to 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”
Through collective worship, assemblies, PSHE lessons, discussions and our daily interactions with children, British Values will be part of children's everyday experiences.
We provide opportunities for children to debate and discuss a variety of issues
We encourage children to vote for things that they want to happen
Children help make the rules
