We want to learn more about the world, thus we are interested.
To ensure that our students graduate from school ready for life in contemporary Britain, we actively promote British values in the classroom in line with The Department for Education.
We support democracy, the rule of law, individual freedom, respect for one another, and tolerance of those who hold various religious and philosophical ideas.
The value of laws is continually emphasised over the course of the ordinary school day, as well as while dealing with behaviour and at school assemblies, whether the laws be those that govern the class, the school, or the nation.
Students are given opportunity to learn about the importance of laws, the reasons why they are necessary to control and protect us, the duties that come with this and the penalties for breaking the law, as well as the value of laws themselves.
With the knowledge that they are in a secure and encouraging atmosphere at school, students are actively encouraged to make decisions.
Individual students receive additional help through pastoral care work.
Through practise of these techniques, students can improve their self-esteem and increase their respect for others.
This is accomplished through giving students chances to experience cultural variety and by helping them better comprehend their role in a varied society.
Learning from RE and PD is used to promote assemblies and conversations regarding biases and prejudice-based issues (PSHE.)
To improve instruction in courses and throughout the institution, people of all faiths are urged to contribute their knowledge.
The school upholds these objectives through a variety of initiatives and employs methods beyond the scope of the National Curriculum to guarantee these outcomes for students.
Our curriculum helps kids develop the abilities needed to find and exchange knowledge, make and express judgments, and apply those abilities to society and the outside world.
They consist of learning how to handle money, writing and reading well, working in groups, discussing and researching ideas and concepts, and developing a thorough and well-rounded awareness of the culture in which they live.
The historical and geographical context of the United Kingdom, which incorporates local and national evolution as well as worldwide comparisons, are aspects of study that go beyond essential abilities.
When possibilities to educate students about historical events that affected the future present themselves, our school takes full use of them.
Every year, all students take part in lessons that encourage them to reflect about Remembrance.
Children study a variety of historical themes regarding Britain's evolution through various eras as part of our taught curriculum.
At Westover, we encourage students to actively participate in improving our school and assume ownership of its management.
In order to demonstrate their ideals of responsibility, stewardship, unity, and democracy, we urge our students to take on tasks at school.
The young people submit applications and are chosen for the positions based on qualifications.
Following an opening ceremony, the kids meet with the headteacher or deputy headteacher to discuss their goals for the year and how they plan to achieve them.
