They should also make sure that they and the school promote tolerance of and respect for people of all faiths (or those of no faith), cultures, and lifestyles.
As a school, we value the various cultural backgrounds of all students and families and host a number of activities to recognise and celebrate these backgrounds.
As it fosters tolerance and respect for the diversity within our community and around the world, we have discovered that this strategy is enriching for all parties.
All of this is supported by a variety of curricular subjects that are closely related to British history.
Beginning with a local study of our region, British history is taught chronologically through Years 3 to Year 5 in Key Stage 2.
During Remembrance Day, KS2 students study World Wars One and Two and examine the role that the armed forces had in defending the British Empire.
We have held our own sports weeks to commemorate the World Cup, the Olympics, and the Paralympics as a whole school.
We recently held special assemblies, lessons with unique themes, and a party to honour the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding and the birth of Prince George.
From our Mac Millian coffee sessions to receiving visits and visitors, like the PDSA, we support numerous charity and learn from them.
who imparted respect and sensitivity throughout the entire school.
Generally speaking, the school holds weekly values assemblies to preserve conventional ideals like respect.
Respect, empathy, and tolerance are also discussed both formally in classes on SEAL, PSHE, Citizenship, and RE as well as informally throughout the school day.
Through our student surveys, student conferences, and our school council, students have the chance to have their opinions heard.
Teaching activities in our civic curriculum through PSHE also reinforce the idea of the Rule of Law.
With the knowledge that they are in a secure and encouraging atmosphere at school, students are actively encouraged to make decisions.
Our school's ethos and behaviour code are centred on the idea of respect, and students have participated in talks and assemblies about what this means and how it is demonstrated.
The guidelines for the school and the classroom, as well as our behaviour policy, emphasise these concepts.
Individual youngsters receive additional support to aid in the development of respect and self-esteem.
