British Values

At St. Cuthbert's the British Values are taught through a well planned out RSE and Citizenship curriculum.

According to guidance from the DfE, the fundamental British values which schools should promote are:

  • Democracy; 
  • The rule of law; 
  • Individual liberty; 
  • Mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith.

At St Cuthbert's we use a range of teaching resources so that we can help children to have a better understanding of the above values.

We aim to ensure that all pupils within the school and have a voice that is listened to. This is demonstrated through our Pupil Parliament. 

At St Cuthbert's we promote British values:

  • By teachers explaining the meaning of the value;
  • By pupils reflecting on the value and what it means to them and their own behaviour;
  • By pupils using the value to guide their own actions;
  • By staff modelling the value through their own behaviour;
  • By ensuring that values are taught implicitly through every aspect of the curriculum;
  • Through the work of the Pupil Parliament.
  • Through newsletters which explain how school and home can work together to promote positive values.
