British Values
At Cam Everlands Primary School, we are committed to actively promoting the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. As a maintained primary school, we follow the OFSTED inspection framework and ensure that these values are woven throughout our curriculum and school life.
Developing Democratic Principles
Our pupils have the opportunity to have their voices heard through the election of class representatives for our school council and eco council groups. These elected bodies play an active role in decision-making processes, allowing our children to understand and experience the democratic process firsthand.
Upholding the Rule of Law
Through assemblies and our PSHE curriculum, we teach our pupils about the importance of laws and rules, both in school and in the wider community. We help them understand the reasons behind rules and the consequences of not following them, fostering a respect for the rule of law.
Promoting Individual Liberty
At Cam Everlands, we encourage our pupils to make their own choices and to develop a strong sense of self-worth and personal identity. We provide a safe and supportive environment that allows them to explore their interests and express their views freely, while also learning to respect the rights and opinions of others.
Encouraging Mutual Respect and Tolerance
Our school celebrates the diversity of our community and the different faiths and beliefs represented within it. Through visits to places of worship and hosting visitors from various religious groups, we promote mutual understanding and respect for those with different backgrounds and beliefs.
By embedding these fundamental British values throughout our school, we aim to nurture well-rounded, responsible, and engaged citizens who are prepared to make a positive contribution to society. Our vision of "we believe, achieve and celebrate" and our core values of respect, trust, honesty, and empathy are at the heart of everything we do at Cam Everlands Primary School.
