British Values At Queen Victoria Primary School

At Queen Victoria Primary School, we are proud to promote and uphold the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. These values are woven throughout our curriculum and school ethos, helping to shape our children into responsible, caring, and engaged citizens.

Democracy

Democracy is a core principle at our school. Our democratically elected school council gives children a voice in decision-making, while our child leadership team provides further opportunities for children to take on important roles and responsibilities. Across the curriculum, we encourage speaking, listening, discussion, and debate, empowering children to express their views and opinions.

The Rule of Law

The importance of the rule of law is emphasised through our clear policies and expectations, which are shared with all stakeholders. Our PSHE (Personal, Social, and Health Education) curriculum helps children understand the purpose of rules and laws, while also exploring how they are applied in the real world.

Individual Liberty

At Queen Victoria Primary School, we celebrate the unique qualities and talents of each child. Our PSHE and RE (Religious Education) curricula foster an understanding and appreciation of individual differences, encouraging children to recognise and respect the liberty of others. We provide a safe and supportive environment that allows children to make informed choices and develop their sense of self.

Mutual Respect

Respect is one of our school’s golden rules, and it underpins all aspects of life at Queen Victoria Primary School. Through our RE and PSHE lessons, assemblies, and diverse reading materials, we promote mutual respect and understanding between people of all backgrounds and beliefs. We work closely with external agencies, such as Loud Mouth, to address issues like bullying and ensure our community is inclusive and welcoming.

Tolerance of Different Faiths and Beliefs

Tolerance and respect for different faiths and beliefs are integral to our school’s ethos. Our PSHE and RE curricula explore a range of religious and cultural celebrations, and we maintain strong links with local faith communities, organising visits to places of worship. By fostering an understanding and appreciation of diversity, we help our children develop into well-rounded, tolerant individuals.

The PSHE Jigsaw scheme is a key part of how we reinforce British values at Queen Victoria Primary School. Through this holistic approach, we ensure that children not only learn about these important principles but also have the opportunity to apply them in their daily lives, both within the school community and beyond.

By embedding British values throughout our curriculum and school culture, we are nurturing a new generation of engaged, responsible, and compassionate citizens who will make a positive difference in their local community and the world around them.
